Bee Vintage Sew Along - Week Two - Vintage Maple Leaf Block!!




"VINTAGE MAPLE LEAF BLOCK"


Welcome to week two of the 
"BEE VINTAGE"
Sew Along!
Join me here each week 
when I will be doing 3 tutorials
 on three blocks for the quilt.

Of course because we are all sewing 
from all around the world  
we all have different time zones...
But I will be posting each 
Monday - Wednesday - Friday 
right here on my blog 
and you can follow my tutorials 
any time during the week that 
 is convenient for you.


We are making the 
Bee Vintage Sampler Quilt
71" x 84"
 
I've been getting ready for
when it was time to begin...
and now that time is here!!


The quilt is made with my fabric
 collection called Bee Vintage...
and a few other prints from my basics collections as well!

I hope that you all have all 
received your 
fabric kits by now...
 and that we are all ready to begin!!


If you still need one ...
just do a quick google search for 
"Bee Vintage Quilt Kit"
to find shops who still have some left.



We are also using the
Bee Vintage
Sew Simple Shapes

I have already posted the
 post which details all of the supplies
 for the sew along and how it works.
I have also given the link there 
for the free PDF Download 
of the Sew Along Guide

to download the sew along guide
if you have not downloaded yet. 



As per usual for the first block in my 
Sew Simple Shape Sew Alongs
 that FIRST tutorial is a video.

Because I now have my own  
 I have posted the 
 Vintage Strawberry Block
Tutorial there.
to visit my channel and watch the 
tutorial and I hope that you love it!

to read my blog post too



for the tutorial on the
VINTAGE APPLE BLOCK


for the tutorial on the
VINTAGE CHERRIES BLOCK



Last time we made the
VINTAGE BUTTERFLY BLOCK
for that tutorial

Today we are making a maple leaf!




Here is my Vintage Maple Leaf Block 
 All cut...traced and ready to go:)

Here is a list of the
  Bee Vintage 
Sew Simple Shapes 
needed for this block:
1 - P-32
1 - P-33




***TAKE NOTE***
That you will need to 
trace the P-32 shape in reverse.
To trace in reverse...
simply turn the Sew Simple Shape 
over so that the right side 
(you can tell from the printing on the shape) is facing down and then trace!
Easy Peasy:)

Cut your background  
12" x 12"


Once again both shapes in this block
 have clipping to do before turning.
Inner curve on the stem and 
both inner curves and 
cleavage areas on the leaf.


Easy peasy and quick to prepare
 with only two shapes!


And just as easy peasy to lay out.


Pin and glue:)


10" long from point to point!!


Ready to applique...


Afterwards press from the back 
and trim to 10 1/2" square.
