Our new series [TQC] Archives will revisit and
add a fresh new spin to some of our favorite projects.

5 years ago we posted Little Leaves for the first time. 
This year I thought my newest line from Marcus Fabrics,
Bygone Browns would be perfect for a new take on this
cute little block. Find all the details to make your

own Little Leaves here.  

Make this updated version by making three Little Leaf
blocks. Piece together as pictured, cut and add 1-1/4" borders.
Finish up with a single thickness binding. 

We made some kits! - - - You can order one here
Kits include everything as pictured except backing
Finished quilt - 4-1/4" x 9
