The red border looks like it's twice the width of a log cabin strip so about 4", then the last border is pretty large, maybe 8".

I would love to see a pattern for it too.

Thank you, I am not very good at guessing the sizes. I am going to try this quilt as soon as I finish the kids quilt that I am working on now.

Looking at the second one, each block is five strips by five strips. The leaves are just squares and HST's, so that should be easy to figure out. If you want your finished block to be 10 inches, cut your strips 2.5 inches. Same for the Log Cabin. Good luck, it's a beautiful quilt!

Thanks for all the help. The suggestions are great. If I can't find a pattern, I'll use some of the tips to make my own pattern. As a couple people have pointed out, it "should" be easy enough to figure out the pattern.
Thanks - I just love this web site!

I just bought this pattern and there went my New Year's resolution of not buying any new patterns but I just had to have it! I like anything with leaves.

You hit that nail on the head! The leaf block is the same.....just add the log cabin blocks and there's the pattern. Great find!

I like the first one because the leaf blocks are so different. Should be easy to figure out the blocks and make it the size you want. Only problem I see is how do you figure the yardage without buying the pattern. May in Jersey

There is one like you described in the Oct. 2009 issue of American Patchwork and Quilting. It is pictured on the cover, so if you go to their website you could see it before ordering the magazine. I'm actually in the process of making this quilt and it has been a lot of fun. If you like it and don't want to get the magazine PM your address to me and I will send it to you.
