Popular designer Kim Diehl’s quilting journey began years ago with a sampler quilt she found at a sidewalk sale, so it’s no surprise that, when she designed a sampler quilt of her own, she pulled out all the stops and incorporated two of her loves—stars and fusible wool appliqué. With an invitation to slow down and enjoy hand stitching the wool appliqué blocks, Kim makes this decadent quilt simple with full-size appliqué patterns, detailed instructions, and scads of tips for success. And true to her more-is-more philosophy, Kim has cooked up a batch of five additional projects inspired by the blocks in the sampler quilt. You won’t be able to stitch just one!
