This is the Modern Maple tutorial, Here is a different tutorial that is really easy to follow. It has some great tips for making the stem but this time I am going to recommend sticking with the traditional 2 at a time method for your half square triangles, (using two 5" squares of each colour) as we are doing a scrappy background. It will also be easier for our winner to not have bias edges on the blocks.
Colour Palette:
Background scrappy whites and almost white prints.
Maple leaf, use one fabric for the whole leaf. Either as solid red, a tone on tone red, or a red and white print.
I wouldn't mind if the odd reverse block was made. ie light leaf and red background. :-)
