maybe even dance a little?
Welcome to the Island Batik Sock Hop Blog Hop....
My FABRIC LINE! "LA BAMBA" aren't they juicy? You can find the fabric line Here!
Here is the store locator to find the Island Batik fabrics nearest you.
The block I have chosen is the Maple Leaf. When I saw these fabrics I just knew this is what I wanted to do. You can find the pattern here. She gives instructions for a 12" block and I wanted a 9-1/2" block unfinished making each square 3 1/2".
Amazing fabrics and this Maple leaf showcases them wonderfully!!
I already had a quilt idea in mind and here it is....
Tried to get some good pictures outside
Here it is hanging on the wall in my sewing room. My rod is not big enough but it works for now.
Here is the close up of the tree. I so wish you could see it up close.
Don't forget to stop by Six Gables Designs tomorrow. I have so enjoyed seeing the different fabrics and projects.

Hi Barb I love Your Maple leafs, the fabric you are using is just gorgeous. I have done that block but just in red and white. I really loved both the pillow and quilt as usual beautiful job Barb.
Great quilt - love all those colors!
Gorgeous Barb and I so loved that movie.
I love your Maple Leaf pillow and your tree is adorable, Maple leaf is a symbol of Canada so thank you for the pattern. Batiks are my favourite line of fabric. I enjoy your emails daily. Thank you for a chance to win. Happy Quilting :)
Your maple leaves are gorgeous, Barbara! I especially love that quilt with all the fallen leaves around it. What a delightful design for showing off these pretty batiks! Well done!
I love the juxtaposition of those lovely "traditional"maple leaves surrounding the "modern" feeling tree. Lovely quilting in the background. Congrats.
The song was playing in my head without the link...my generation. I've done the maple leaf block too, love what you did with it!
LOVE the blocks as a pillow, and the quilt is gorgeous. The colors are just wonderful in Island Batiks! Thanks for the inspiration.
LOVE your quilt! You had great colors to play with too.. your tree you appliqued is AMAZING! Thanks for a great post! Kathi
wow your pillow and quilt are gorgeous. thanks for sharing.
All righty, I just had to stop and listen to La Bamba first. Sorry, but it was just too much in my heyday and I wanted the full effect! That is a gorgeous collection of batiks; brilliant that they used songs (mostly old) to name them. Your block is wonderful and the pillow is sweet but the quilt is fabulous. The maple leaves are perfect for your tree. Yes, I wish I could see the tree up close - it actually looks like you have a lot of texture in it. Beautiful!
Gorgeous fabrics, but what you did with them is absolutely stunning!
Barb, your quilt is amazing! The fabrics are gorgeous, but the way you used them is stunning! Awesome!
Oh, wow, Barb! Your tree quilt is just fantastic!!
I love your quilt and pillow!
What Can I Say... I am Canadian so I love those maple leaves!!!

Loving your tree!!!
