This tiny quilt is from a pattern by Kim Diehl and a kit
with her Vintage Farmhouse collection for Henry Glass Fabrics. At least it
started out that way. I loved the photo of the quilt until I got the pattern
home and realized what I thought were six square-in-a-squares (in the center)
and ten flying geese (on the edges) were really 48 half-square-triangles. Who
needs all that extra work, not to mention wasted fabric and added bulk in the
finished product? So I redesigned the quilt to be more like what I thought I
saw in the first place. I didn’t really make 192 one inch (finished) squares,
either. I pulled 48 two-patch blocks out of my scrap bag and trimmed them each
down to 2 1/2”. I now have a finished 18x24" quilt which might grace my table this
Sunday. I also have a LOT of leftover Vintage Farmhouse prints. I wonder what
they’ll become.
