Quilter’s Midnight Snack: Kim Diehl’s Simple Whatnots IV for Satisfying Mini Quilts

Sep 30th 2024

Midnight snacks can be just the thing to leave us feeling satisfied and soothed for sweet dreams. But not every midnight snack comes from the kitchen—some are even better than pie! Enter best-selling author and renowned fabric designer Kim Diehl with her latest release, Simple Whatnots IV: A Midnight Snack of Satisfyingly Scrappy Quilts.

As Kim herself says, "In addition to being versatile, small whatnots can bring big opportunities. You can treat them as skill builders and dabble in new techniques, or even stretch yourself and tackle more advanced block designs, knowing that the finish line is in sight right from the very start. Best of all, unlike large quilts, with no long-term commitment needed you can be fickle and jump from project to project with a completely clear conscience. No judging happening here!"

This highly anticipated fourth installment in her Simple Whatnots series features 19 mini quilt projects designed to elevate your home with timeless charm and scrappy elegance. Whether you're looking to build your quilting skills or simply want a quick, creative outlet, these small, manageable projects are perfect for quilters at every level.

With traditionally pieced blocks that come together quickly and easily, these quilts offer just the right balance of beauty and simplicity. Challenge yourself with more advanced block designs or start with the basics as you explore flying geese, triangle squares, stars, and much more. The smaller size makes these quilts a breeze to complete, avoiding the overwhelm of larger projects while still delivering satisfying results.

Integrate these scrappy quilts into your home decor to add warmth, texture, and a unique personal touch. Pair them with vintage heirlooms, collectibles, and other beloved decor pieces for a cozy, distinctive look that’s all your own. Inside the book, you’ll find stunning photography to inspire your interior design ideas.


And, as always, Kim’s guidance shines through, with helpful tips, including her signature invisible machine appliqué techniques. Plus, enjoy six brand-new projects exclusive to this book, complete with detailed material lists, cutting, and piecing instructions to ensure success from start to finish.

Don’t miss out on this must-have addition to your quilting library—Simple Whatnots IV will leave you as satisfied as your favorite midnight snack, but without the fridge!
