okay, I'm going to give this a shot, my first block swap. I've gone through my 'stash' & have no black what so ever. Any ideas of how much I need to pick up?
I'm so nervous & hope I do well for all.

I was going to say I didn't have time to figure this out for you...but...then I remember I now have EQ7 :) :) :thumbup: :thumbup:

So IF I figured it out correctly (or if the EQ7 figured it out correctly) - to make 12 - 12 1/2" UNfinished blocks

The Background needs about 1 yard
The leaf needs about 1 3/8 yard.
(the leaf and stem are same fabric in my example)

Good Luck - let us know if that yardage works for you.

Here are the amounts of fabric

How's this one?

This is nice. Makes me feel warm. I am in Florida but I remember the beautiful fall colors of Ohio. Our leaves on certain trees do change colors but not until Janurary or Febuary.

Here's a picture of my scrappy maple leaf block. The colors look kind of washed out in this picture. They are really quite bright.

Thanks Linda.
I rearranged the fabrics at least a dozen times before I settled on this configuration.
Would probably still be second guessing my choice but finally just had to start sewing and quit dithering! LOL!
