## Description

Welcome to the wonderful world of Kim Diehl--on a splendidly small scale! Kim's little quilts have three big benefits: they're scrap friendly, they're quick to finish . . . and they're as cute as can be. Now you can create a wonderful variety of pint-sized quilts in Kim's signature style. Enjoy 18 projects from Kim's Simple Whatnots Club, previously available only in individual patterns. You'll learn streamlined techniques for petite patchwork, invisible machine applique, and cozy wool applique. Use completed projects as wall quilts and table toppers, or follow Kim's lead and display projects in other creative ways. As always, Kim shares her "Extra Snippet" sewing tips throughout so that YOU can become a better quilter. Also available: Kim Diehl's Simple Reflections journal, where this best-selling author of 14 books on quiltmaking has gathered her favorite quilts, recipes, and more to enjoy year-round.

Review: Excellent book of mini quilt projects for all skill levels - Okay, so I have to confess right up front that I'm a Kim Diehl fan and have been clear back to when her first appliqued quilt pattern was printed in a quilt magazine. (In fact, I still have that pattern and it's still on my bucket list!) This book includes a very nice selection of small quilts. According to the book's introduction, "...these little quilts are some of my very favorites from the early Simple Whatnots collections. To keep things fresh, I've also included a handful of new projects...) I take that to mean that some of the patterns are previously published quilts that were part of the Whatnots where you got several mini quilt patterns along with Kim's fabrics. I never took part of that because I felt it was too expensive. As a result, I don't know which patterns are older or newer. When you look at the book's description on desertcart and look at the provided pictures, you will see all of the projects provided in the book. The book is well written with good instructions and the pictures are clear and relevant. The applique shapes for the projects are printed at the end of each project. As a result, you will need a strong light box (or light source) so that you can trace the shapes because on the back of the page is a color picture of the next project. All of the projects are small. The largest is 28.5 inches square. Kim seems to make even the simplest quilt cute. For example, the Mini Orange Peel project is 14.5 inches square and the orange peel shapes are only .75 inches long (without seam allowance)! To me, there's nothing special about an orange peel quilt but Kim stitches French knots around each peel in the same color as the fabric and voila!, the finished project looks amazing. There are two wool applique projects, one with pennies and one with hexagons. (I love working with wool in part because of the physical and visual texture but also because wool doesn't unravel so everything is raw-edge applique.) If I had the opportunity for a do-over about buying the book, would I buy it? Yes indeed! The book is usable for any skill level and the project could even be completed by hand if you wanted to go that way.
Review: I LOVE it!! - Oh, my gosh--Such cute little quilts!! I love the vintage look of the fabrics and blocks chosen for the quilts. Some of my favorites include Plain Folk (the pinwheels just pop), True Blue, Bountiful (I love it), Anthem (I love the way the strips form the border, edged with cornerstones), and Barn Stars. But my favorite of all is Scarlet Stars. The two-color design really stands out. Using just three red fabrics and one background lighter fabric makes for great contrast and keeps it simple. I wish I had more wall space to hang small quilts, because there are many I will want to make. There are always tables to top, though. The piecing illustrations and directions are very clear and easy to follow. I'm so glad I bought this book of little quilts!
