'Idaho Lily' Simple Whatnots by Kim Diehl

Doughty's Roadshow fabrics are back in town - 10.30am until 2.30pm, in Thornbury, Bristol, 27th June 2015.  It was this time last year that I shared my purchase with you, a bundle of 'Hearthside Seasons' fabric by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass which I planned  to use for my 'Dear Jane' quilt. But I can't start the Dear Jane quilt until the Nearly Insane quilt is finished, which although close, is not done.

'Winter Blessings' Kim Diehl fabric
Meanwhile I have been developing my relationship with Kim Diehl fabrics, which includes the arrival of the 'Winter Blessings' half yard bundle this morning.  All the backing fabric, the main fabric and block fabrics have been purchased for the Dear Jane quilt, but I will not let myself start until the Nearly Insane quilt is done.  The intention was for my sister and I to do the Dear Jane quilt together, but she has stormed on ahead and has completed 135 blocks already.

To keep me quiet I have allowed myself to do one of Kim Diehl 'Simple Whatnot' quilts.  They are only small and this one, 'Idaho Lily' is mainly half square triangles and some applique.

There is only so long I can look at this fabric, so having done one, I am ready for another.
