I was going to suggest quilterscache but then noticed Tartan had the same recommendation. Some days when I'm at loose ends for my next project (even though I have dozens of patterns), I will go to quilterscache and just look through the blocks, they are a valuable resource.

The options are for a 5, 10, or 15 inch block.

I have found https://www.quiltcanvas.com/ pretty helpful for stuff I can't find, or blocks I want to resize (as long as they're fairly basic). You don't have to pay for an account, they have some of the basic features free that would let you create your maple leaf block.

Thanks for the picture. It's beautiful! The color scheme is what I'm looking for.

No it doesn't. I saw a 10 1/2 inch block. I thought about increasing the block size by adding a 'background sashing' piece before I add my color sashing, but I didn't know if it would throw the proportions off.

Or you could ask someone to draft it in EQ and size it to 12 inches finished and use those templates.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm working on that. =;0)
