Falling Hard

Though it's felt like winter for several weeks, today is actually the last day of fall and seems an appropriate time to report in on the Falling for Modern Maples flickr group. Not that the group is going anywhere - in fact there are several terrific Modern Maples projects still in the works and I hope more to come. But for now, check out all we've accomplished in a few short months.

There's a great pattern for the basic block at Lark Crafts {here}, and if you like to play around with different sizes, check in with Darcy/Modern Cozy, who not only made some Mini Modern Maples, but also some Massive Maples! 

I'm as smitten with this traditional-made-modern block as ever, and if you end up Falling for Modern Maples too, feel free to join in with the rest of us!
