I hit a gold mine with this link. The Eleanor Burns chat board had a message indicating a search on "autumn leaves" might be more successful. It was. I do like the Eleanor Burns borders on her leaf quilt. Thank you.

I really like the first one. Looks like the real thing. Easy enough to make the pattern for a finished 12.5" block. Make a grid of 2.5" blocks (5 across and 5 down) and draw your pattern then add the 1/4" seam allowances on all sides of the pieces. The long rectangles look like they are snowballed with 2.5" (plus1/4" SA) squares so cut 3" squares. If you look at the upper right, it is easy to do with the grid.

The block is on a free pattern site so hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes:
Make a 12.5" sq on paper. Mark off 1/4" on all edges. Divide inside sq into grid 5 x 5 sqs so that there are 25 sq's in the 12" sq. Going by design (except for right top corner, there are hst's on the points) draw angles. The right top "block" will have a longer top line and shorter bottom line. Then color or scribble the dark parts and you will have your pattern. Measure each section for size of each piece. Just remember to add seam allowances.

I saw this on Pinterest. I thought it would look good in fall color batiks. I am putting the sashing on now. I'm curious about quilting on the long arm, have never done batiks![ATTACH=CONFIG]518719[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]518719[/ATTACH]

I'm hoping someone has a resource to a 12" block maple leaf pattern. I've been searching the Internet for two days with no luck.
This is the style I'm looking for: http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...ilt-block.html
Although this style would work in a pinch. http://quiltsbyjen.ca/a-maple-leaf-block/
Your help is appreciated.
Thank you.

For the first one you listed -
Theoretically -
If you cut your strips at 2-7/8 inches, and each "square" of the 5x5 grid finished at 2-3/8 inches - the block would finish at 11-7/8 inches.
Or you could ask someone to draft it in EQ and size it to 12 inches finished and use those templates.

On the Generations website, the links to the templates, etc. are in the cutting chart under the finished block sizes.
