Simple Whatnots: A Batch of Satisfyingly Scrappy Little Quilts
Kim Diehl
Scrap QuiltingDiehl pairs her signature reproduction-fabric, appliqué-and-piecing scrap style with a bonus small "whatnot" project alongside each larger pattern, so a single batch of scraps yields two finished pieces rather than one. The look favors soft, aged-print fabrics and traditional block shapes over bold modern scrappy contrast. A strong entry point for scrap quilters drawn to a gentler, 1930s-reproduction palette rather than high-contrast improv scrap work.
