Ozark Maple Leaf Tessellations

Today's block is called Ozark Maple Leaf. It's also my Reston quilt guild friend Kathy E.'s birthday - Happy Birthday, Kathy!

I have made this many times before. In fact, it has another name: Spanish Tessellations. Tessellations? "What's that?" you may ask. That's when parts of one section interlock with another. Let me show you.

This green and gold quilt was made 25 years ago and uses 4" blocks in sections that measure 8" x 8".

I made it again using gold and black with a Christmas print border:

My friend Kathy M. - one of my Calendar Girls - made the block and made an "oops" in one side. Can you find it?

Here is her revised block. It was easy enough to fix because the error was on the outside. (Hint: just check out the colored corners.)

And one more of my OLD quilts using lots of blocks. You can see the tessellating leaves here:

This is a great quilt that provides a secondary design.
