Autumn Leaves
Today I’m sharing a page of Autumn Leaf patterns to add to your quilt projects. The leaves can be copied, traced and stitched onto your wall hanging, quilt or craft project.
Besides quilting, you could use them for making a leaf banner or swag with colored construction paper or just as a Fall coloring page for your little one.
If you’d like to use these leaves on a quilt, I found a nice example from a 1930’s newspaper. It even won a blue ribbon at the state fair:
The newspaper caption for the above quilt states:
Frost-nipped leaves, all red and yellow and golden brown, are leaving their tree-top homes and hunting a place to rest. And where could a better place be found than right on a bed? Leastwise that’s what these quilted leaves must have thought, as they took their zig-zag path across this charming quilt – one of the blue-ribbon winners at the Topeka State Fair.
It is called, “The Autumn Leaf,” but contrary to nature’s colorings and the quilting design, the patchwork blocks of the original were made of lavender and white. We’d prefer “our” autumn leaf done in cream and gold, but quilt color schemes are after all a personal matter, and this two-color pattern adapts itself to any combination within the rainbow’s range.
