One of my goals for something like the last three years has been to piece a Kim Diehl quilt. I own every book she's published but just never found the right pattern at the right time to go with the right fabric, until now.
The quilt on the cover just caught my eye, it's Pie in the Sky. A great pattern for my stack of Bonnie and Camille leftover fabric.
The pattern has 8 rows of 6 blocks, but I'm still in my square quilt phase so I went with 7 rows of 7 blocks.
I ended up using a little over 100 different prints. It was really fun mixing up the different families of fabric by Bonnie and Camille. This is my favorite block,
a little Happy Go Lucky, with a little Hello Darling and some Vintage Picnic,.
It's very rare for me to piece a quilt with no background fabric, but this pattern just suited me.
This is Lifetime Quilt Number 181
It finished at 76" x 76"
The pattern is Pie in the Sky by Kim Diehl from the Simple Graces Book.
I've named it Wild Child.
I've named it Wild Child.
The fabric is all Bonnie and Camille for Moda
It has approximately 1,629 pieces.
