Lots of Leaves and Half Square Triangles!
The Leaf Peepers Quilt Along is in full swing and this week Sheri has shared a tutorial on how to make eight half square triangles at a time. Yes, EIGHT!
That’s a lot of little triangles my friend, but you’re going to need them for piecing the Split Leaf Block. You might also want to review my video from last week on piecing two at a time half square triangles too as you’ll use both methods for this second leaf quilt block.

As you can see, we have a lot of beautiful quilting left to come! I know many quilters love the piecing process, but my favorite part of any quilt is the quilting and adding beautiful texture to the quilt surface.
Is the weather cooling off in your neck of the woods yet? We’ve just gotten a wave of cooler weather and I’m loving that little nip in the air. This is my favorite time of the year in North Carolina and I can’t wait until I can do some real leaf peeping in the mountains in a few weeks.
Don’t forget if you’re just finding this quilt along that you can join in the fun anytime! All you need is the Leaf Peepers Quilt Pattern available right here.
Let’s go quilt,
Leah Day
