when I should have been sewing the rows together of my nine patch and hst quilt I decided to whip up this little quilt today!
See what happens when a friend says go look in this book, Simple Graces by Kim Diehl, so as I was flipping thru the book to see what she was talking about I came across this little quilt. There isn't a real pattern for it she suggests making it from your left overs from one of her quilts, I thought OH I can do that from the left overs of all these nine patches I just made. See leftovers are good! maybe that should be the name of the quilt? If it was your little quilt what would you call it???? Start thinking of a name ...why??? cause I cut a kit for someone to make the quilt too! So if you would like to win a kit for this little quilt just leave me a comment. I will pick A winner by Thursday this week
Here is the book by Kim....love her quilts.

What a nice mini Kathie and yes it is great to use up leftovers like this! Kim Diehl has a great taste and makes beautiful quilts.
You could call it "Rock Soup". If you don't remember that story, it was about a traveler who invited everyone to come and have rock soup with him. Everyone brought a different item i.e. onion, carrot, herbs etc. and he put it all in a pot of water along with his rock. At the end of the day they all enjoyed a lovely soup.
I think I like the name "Leftovers are Good!" It is a sweet little quilt. Thanks for making a kit for someone to win.
I like that one Rock soup!! all the colors of the ingedients...such a cute quilt! I was thinking "sticks and stones" that for offering a kit...Beth
Hi Kathie,
If it were mine I would name it "Fruit Salad" cuz it's so colorful.

I think the name of that story is "Stone Soup."
I like just the name "Leftovers."
How fun to make something so cute from your leftovers! (Like dinner leftovers.
What a great idea to make a kit. I have a friend just starting her first quilt. Maybe a new little kit would inspire her. Hmmmmm.
Kim Diehl her books are great and the quilts lovely.
Love your little quilt and would love to win the kit.
What about " Scraps galore " or " Simple Scraps "
I love Kim's designs. They are traditional but with punch - usually the colors and scrappiness. I like the name you picked for yours.
Kathie, it's adorable!!! And DONE!!!
I too like the name "Leftovers"...."Kathie's Leftovers would be nice for the kit.....if it were my own scraps then maybe "Mom's Leftovers". Thanks for offering a kit to one lucky person!
Matchsticks cuz that's what it looks like to me. Beautiful!! I LOVE everything Kim Diehl (& Diehl was my first married name tho no relation).
It's adorable! I'd name it Smidgens. Thanks for sharing.
Cute little quilt! I love the name "Leftovers Are Good!" And isn't that a great pattern on the front of the Kim Diehl book.
Cute. I'd call it fiesta.
I'd call it a ROWS-E quilt. Kathie L in Allentown
Adorable little quilt!
I like "Leftovers" or "Snacks".
I think "Leftovers are good" is a great name! I really like the quilt. What are the sizes of your squares and rectangles?
How about Scrappy Leftovers for a name. I have that Book and it is really neat. Thanks for a chance to win a kit.
Very cute - I'd call it Brownstone Window.
What an adorable little quilt. I don't have that book of Kim's. Love the ones I have.
I did take your advice and ordered Utility Quilting. I'm so pleased with it. Thank you for the suggestion.
Sheila
How about "Waste not", very cute quilt.
Love her books, I've made a few of her patterns.
Leftovers - I think that fits very well!
How about 'The Long & The Short of It' - a very sweet little quilt - I love to make little doll quilts out of scraps, they usually end up being my favourites!!!
I would go with Leftovers. love the fabric.
Love Kim Diehl's books/patterns. This is too cute. I would call it "Leftovers Again!" because you would be bound to make more again and again from all those leftovers!
I love this book! I would name the sweet little quilt "Snippets".
Hi Kathie, it is just darling and it whips up easy eh?
I had made one meself, and also made that cover quilt pie in the sky it is an awesome book
I turn to it when I need a break from applique and want to make something that has many fabrics...scraps..LOL
Love the mini Kathie:-) How about Mini Delight cause it's delightful to be able to use up your scraps and make such a very cute quilt.
Love your little quilt!!! It's right up my alley.
Please don't enter my name in your drawing - I've been fortunate to win little tidbits in the past. I'm a happy girl. :-)
Perfect little quilt...and it would be even nicer to win the kit! :)
It looks like I's all lined up, the cornerstones being the dots. I'd call it "Dotting the I". I have that Book I think. Did a class with her once.
It reminds me of a stained glass window...like a fancy leaded glass door in a Victorian house!
Darling little quilt, really like the name "Leftovers". Thanks for the chance to win a kit.
Oh yes.....'Leftovers are good' is a perfect title! This is a sweet little quilt! Thanks for the chance at the kit! Yay!
Kim has some very nice patterns (minus the "a" word). I love leftovers be it food or fabric.
Oops! It is STONE SOUP not rock soup. Here is a picture of the book I read as a child. http://www.amazon.com/Stone-Soup-Aladdin-Picture-Books/dp/0689711034/ref=pd_sim_b_1.
I love your little quilt top. So cute!!!
sticks & stones sounds good to me, that fun quilt is right up my alley.....
I love Kim's books and have all of them, and even though I've not made any, I love looking at the pictures of the quilts and the decor. Little Scraps might be a fitting name for your small quilt. Leftovers also seems to suit it as we all have them. Thanks for the chance to win the kit.
I have that book too and it's a great one. With all those scraps and colors, you could call it Vegetable Soup...
It is very sweet. i would call it Sweet Dessert.
Big Day. The ship with my Gammill is arriving to Helsinki today
I WOULD CALL IT la-patches,,,,,i no,,,,,silly, just heard a silly song, and thats what made me think this,,,,,SMILES ARE FREE,,,PLANT DAILY
I'd call it From Pillar to Post.
I'll have to take a look at that book.
I would call it "Sunshine for my Eyes" I have Kim Diehl and have made a couple of her quilts
I went to my sewing room to get out that book and was surprised to find it is one I don't have. : ) Just added it to the list.
I might call this little quilt Morse Code (dots and dashes--get it?). : )
I would call it "Recycled Love". You got to use your leftovers again!! It made a sweet little quilt--I think the border is great on it.
What a sweet little quilt. Perhaps you could call it "Odds and Ends". The book looks very inviting.
kim diehl has some wonderful books, love your little quilt.:)
I'd have to call it 'Kathie's kit!'
Very sweet!
What a fun project. I also have this book and I love Kim's quilts.
wonderfull and cute, i love that pattern.
Anneke
I have never seen that book but it looks like it would be hard to put down. I like dots and dashes or sticks and stones or maybe the long and short of it. Sure is cute even without a name!
it looks pretty much like our vegetable patch, small stones to walk on between the broad rows of onions and potatoes and fennel and ... so "veggie patch" it is
Kim Diehl is such a talented quilt maker,her books are full of gorgeousness.
Love your little "mini" and would love an opportunity to win your kit.
Thankyou.
i love this little quilt !
I love all things Kim Diehl. I think I would call this one Simply Yours.
I think the quilt looks sweet. I would call it the sweetness left over
So cute. There have been great name suggestions... Sticks & Stones, or Stone Soup being my favorites... But also "little Leftovers". I love alliteration and would love you kit! I have made several of Kim's patterns and they make me happy. Btw, I too bought the book you recommended.... Utility Quilting .. Glad i did. B
I think Kim is sick. She canceled all her teaching arrangements. We need to stay a prayer for her health.
How about Hobo Stew :) It's adorable!
Cake Crumbs! Very cute and I do love to use up the leftovers!
I think your "Sweet Smidgens" is delightful!
Call it leftovers in a minute, great for a gift too. I like Kim Diehi books. Have a good day!
Love your leftovers quilt. It's a good idea to try to keep up with the scraps rather than letting them multiply out of control like I have in the past. Now it's a major project to get them under control but I'd hate to throw them out.
Kim was scheduled to teach for my local quilt guild but cancelled due to health problems. Hopefully it's not too serious since she is still doing a workshop on Mackinac Island this spring. I was really disappointed because I've wanted to take a class from her ever since I saw her do a trunkshow of her quilts a couple years ago.
I think the leftovers sometimes make the best quilts *s*
I would love to have your leftovers to make my own "Nine Patch Casserole!" Many thanks for the opportunity.
I really like the "Leftovers" names, but also thought of "Plannedovers" That is what we eat here instead of leftovers.
I'm going to say "The Brown Bag Quilt" becuase all my leftovers become brown-bagged lunches for my kids, and you never know eactly what'll be in there!
Thanks for the chance!
i like stone soup or sticks and stones but you have a lot of great names to choose from here.
a cute little quilt and thank for the opportunity to win a kit of it.
Kim visited our guild a couple of years ago and although i wasn't able to take the classes i did get to enjoy her trunk show. beautiful stuff~!!~
:-)

How about "Tremblelations", for "I tremble when I think of what that quilt knows of me...". I like Kathies' kit also.
With such nice fabrics it's good to be able to use even the leftovers. I think I would call it Kathie's scrappy mini grace.
I think I would call it Pretty, because it is. Love the colors.
I love all of Kim's books and quilts!
What a cute little quilt! It reminds me of raised beds and pretty flowers, so I'd call it Garden Spot. Thank you for the chance to win a kit!
My friend Joan used to make Gypsy Pie and I asked her why she called it that and she said it was because she put in whatever she had leftover and what she could use from her storecupboard. So, Gypsy Pie would be my name. Lovely idea and a lovely little quilt.
another winner little quilt!!
Love Kim Diehl's books! Can't really think of a name that hasn't been mention .... "Leftover Delight" is one I like best or did I combine two names?
Kim's unique combo of piecing and applique is the reason I own 3 of her books. Such fun to wander through her quilts and add more projects to my bucket list.
You could start a series and this would be Leftovers #1, though I know this isn't your first cute use of scraps.
I just love all your little quilts you whip up!!! I think my name would have to be
"Leftovers are a Girls Best Friend"!
I love little quilts made up of leftovers! Please include me in your giveaway! Thanks!
Seeds of Love seems to describe your quilt and the desire to make it. What's great idea!
adorable!
