Today’s block is part of a new Kim Diehl quilt called “Heartstrings,”
one of eight tiny quilts in the tenth Simple Whatnots collection. The fun prints
are also hers, “Gratitude and Grace” for Henry Glass Fabrics. In her pattern,
Kim doesn’t give the block a name, but I found it in my favorite reference
book, “5,500 Quilt Block Designs” by Maggie Malone. If each of the ten
collections contains eight quilts (I believe they do) then I’ve made more than
half of them. Some I’ve done a few times: once in Kim Diehl prints, and then
again with scraps from my own stash. I love these little quilts, but I know
they’re not for everyone. I once donated one of my favorites to a charity
auction, and it ended up selling for less than I’d spent to make it. If no one
wants these teeny quilts when I’m gone, fine. Stuff them in my casket. I’ll
take them with me.
