The Oh Canada! Maple Leaf Quilt Kit celebrates Canada's national symbol, reimagined to portray the country's multifaceted depth and diversity. In the 19th century, the maple leaf emerged as a symbol of national identity, first in Quebec, then adopted by the rest of Canada, though the maple tree was an important natural resource for aboriginal people, well before Canada became a nation. This quilt kit was created using Tamara Kate's Oh Canada! Quilt Pattern, which makes a stunning wall quilt. The pattern uses the foundation paper piecing (FPP) technique, and is assembled using a colourful selection of Kona Solid Cottons. Skill level: It is assumed the maker has experience with FPP, though a description of the technique is included. Kit includes pattern and instructions, and all fabric for quilt front and binding. FPP templates are provided, but are printed double-sided, so they require photocopying before creating your project. Project requires batting, backing fabric, and thread. We have wide-back pre-cuts available to back your quilt from Tamara Kate's From Sea to Sea collection. We have two available colours to choose from and have pre-cut them to measure approximately 51" x 54." Finished quilt measures 44" x 44."
