Love your patterns. My Sister and I make table runners, small table quilts and large bed quilts. We have a large family so have frequent visitors with no guest room,
so placing a comfy, warm quilt on the pullout sofa, makes for an inviting bed for them. I have been talked in to letting them take the quilt home too, so they need to be replaced frequently.

I make table toppers and wallhangings mostly because I am a handquilter! Love her fabric and would love her latest book!

Linda said...

Quilts are throughout our home and changed seasonally. I ran out of beds and wall space so I have moved on to ladders and piles on the shelves of an antique shoe rack. Recently I have moved on to doll sized quilts for a doll bed and to be held by a standing angel. I even made a lap quilt and matching pillows for out motorhome.

Helen L said...

I love to make bed size quilts and table toppers. 2 of my daughter's wedding quilts were from patterns of Kim's. I love the colors, the old reliable blocks, like the log cabin, churn dash and others that make the quilts seem so homey. I can't wait to see her new book and love the look of the new line of fabric!

Meghan O'Connor said...

I love anything I can curl up on the couch with! Patterns that are scalable and flexible make me ultra-happy. Those fabrics are so warm and cozy looking.

GreenTreeQT said...

I actually like to have multiple projects going at the same time. I am really trying to use fabrics from my stash for a scrappy quilt, and a table runner at this time. I am also working on a "motorcycle" theme twin size quilt for a little grandson. BUT .. my fabric eye is telling me to start something with "modern, new fabric and winning this would get me going in that direction!

Carolyn said...

I make make lap quilts and table toppers and change them in each room for each season. This way I can never have too many quilts!

jane nj/wi said...

I like all the sizes and styles of Kim,s quilt projects as I like to introduce new things to my home.

I like that the different projects allow me the flexibility to make a quick table topper or take on a larger bed or throw size quilt for a longer term project. And I like that I can throw a hint of appliqué in without the whole project being appliqué. I like the mix....it is her signature I think

Love Kim's patterns. I am working on two of them now. One lap and one bed quilt. There would be more, but I have to be realistic or I would not finish any! Many of hers on the bucket list though.

Rhonda Best said...

I prefer making baby quilts, so I can switch fabrics more often.

Anonymous said...

I have made large, king sized bed quilts, but I actually prefer small, table top size ones because they provide a variety of patterns and fabrics and instant gratification of completing something quickly. I guess my years of teaching has influenced my love of short and sweet projects. I love Kim's fabrics. The colors are vibrant yet traditional.

Kim said...

I have a large quilt draped over my sofa and small ones handing over baskets where I have quilts rolled up. I also love having a table runner on my coffee table. I would love to win Kim's new book!
Thanks

I use quilts on my beds, on the walls, on the tables--any place that need a bit of color. I get a lot of comments when visitors see them.

Instead of large quilts, small projects like totes & table runners. Smaller projects = instant gratification. It would be nice to decorate with one of my quilts, but I usually give them away.

Wendy said...

Variety is the spice of life and even more so in quilting. I switch things up with my projects. I make at least one small project per month...usually a table topper, but I add in totes and purses and also try to make a couple throw or. Ed sized quilts each year as well. I love Kim's patterns, and her books are amazing..pattern, colour and photography..my favourite block is a churn dash and I usually find lots to inspire me amongst Kim's patterns. I would be thrilled to win this prize!

My favorite type of quilt is lap to twin for snuggling under to read a book or watch tv, plus they add color to the living room. Thanks for the chance to win.

That's the beauty of Kim's designs....there is no place where I don't like to use them....and there's not any size that I wouldn't tackle....she makes them "doable" and "decorateable"... Her fabrics always seem to work with me in my home...I'd say she's an all-around great package when it comes to above mentioned. Might I add that she was very kind to accept me as a facebook friend!!

Right now I've been creating a lot of wall quilts, hoping to have one for each season. Next I'd like to tackle the kitchen and Kim's new book has a few quilts that will bring colour and warmth to that area. Looking forward to the new book and the club!

Sewing With Annie said...

In all my 10 years of quilting, I have only kept 1 quilt which I have on my couch to cover with on cool evenings. If I would quit giving away all my quilts, I would make a queen sized quilt for my bed and smaller quilts to put on stands around the house. This is my goal for 2014. I love Kim's quilts and her color choices. These colors and the simple quilts would look great in my home. Thanks for this offering...

lisa said...

I like the lap tops, runners for beds and tables, mug rugs. I would love to make a bag with "Kim'sr touch "to carry projects in. I guess I like the feeling when a job is done, smaller projects let that feeling occur more ofen.

I love all of Kim's work - especially the fabrics that she chooses. They're bright and happy without looking like a kid's quilt. I was into bed quilts - but now I'm finding the smaller, wallhangings are loads of fun and much more doable for gifts!

Thanks for the chance to win. And, no, I am not a robot!

I enjoy making lap quilts for different rooms of the house. Then when I am reading in a special chair or watching a movie in the TV room, a quilt is always close by when I get a chill.

YEA! I've been waiting for this book to come out for what seems like forever! I have quilted projects scattered all over the house. While I love full-sized quilts, a person/family only needs so many. I enjoy making small quilts, as in doll quilt size, mug rugs, table toppers, and other small projects. Pincushions are something else I enjoy making and receiving, and I'm just about at the point where I'm going to have to get a display case to show them all off. Small is super!

My favorite place to display them is in our home.

Our family loves our home and I try to use vintage style fabrics to make it feel cozy and comfortable! I make quilts of all sizes -- wall quilts, baby quilts and bed quilts. My favorite place to display them is in our home.

I make a lot of runners and other small quilts. I wish I had more room to display bigger quilts, but I just don't.

I love Kim's designs and inspiration

June D said...

So far I have only made lap sized quilts to put on sofa and chair in the den. I'm hoping to perfect my binding enough to put smaller ones on the table! These projects and the fabric are amazing. Thanks for the chance!

Sandy Milo said...

I generally make between a lap size and twin size quilts to use as throws. However, I also make smaller quilts to hang on the walls or larger quilts for bedcovers! Quilts belong everywhere!

Sherryl said...

Oh I adore Kim's books and fabrics SO much! That said - we put quilts on our beds (of course) on the backs of every sofa and love seat, on our tabletops AND we regularly switch out wall hangings around the house to go with the season. We're a crazy quilty family!

Rosemary said...

I am Sherryl's crazy quilty mother. She's so right. We do all that and more. I give a lot of them away and I LOVE to make minis. My scraps are my minis if they aren't going into a scrappy larger one. I love Kim's fabric and patterns. I will get this book one way or the other. Thanks for a great giveaway.

I like to make quilts and wall hangings...the occasional table runner too. I like what I've seen of the new book.

Pat O said...

I love small wall hangings and table toppers or runners. However, I have a large queen size quilt that I started several years ago that I'm determined to finish before year's end. Thanks for the opportunity.

I have quilts and quilted items in every room except the bathroom. Love to decorate with quilts!

Bonnie said...

I love making 40"x40" quilts to hang over the fireplace mantlepiece.

Bonnie said...

I love making 40"x40" quilts to hang over the mantlepiece. They are big enough to give some visual impact from a distance, yet they don't take forever to make.

Afquilt said...

I've only made throw quilts but have a few table-topper projects in mind for the summer!

Valeri said...

I have made larger quilts in my day but find myself now enjoying crib sized lovelies. I get all the satisfaction of trying new patterns and techniques and they make for wonderful gifts!

Judy1522 said...

I like to have lap size quilts in my family room. They are always great to snuggle under while watching tv. I also am plannoing to make some table toppers and wall quilts for seasonal decorations.

Valeri said...

I've made large quilts but I really enjoy making crib sized beauties. I get all the satisfaction of trying new patterns & techniques all while making a wonderful gift. Love Kim's homey patterns & the way she uses modern fabric colors in a vintage way.

I love Kim Dielh's designs and colour choices. My favourite items to make are wall quilts but I also make bed quilts, and smaller items like table toppers, tote bags etc.

Brenda said...

I have always have this sense that quilts need to be made bed-sized or "cuddle up on the couch" sized so tht's what most of my quilts are. But I am becoming enamored more and more of the quilts I've made to hang on the wall! That's the wonderful things about Kim's designs -- the display settings and ideas are very inspirational. I love her work.

Cheryl said...

I love to decorate my home with my quilts. They are on the tables, walls, and my lap. You inspire me Kim with your use of design and color.

Diane said...

I love to make wall hangings and change them seasonally.

Diann said...

I like different quilts for different purposes, but a favorite is throw quilts to put on a chair or couch. They cheer up a room and are great for naps.

Ann said...

I have made my share of large bed quilts. I am now into smaller with more detail. Anything from Kim Diehl is fantastic!

Marti Taylor said...

I have only made throw/lap size quilts. I am in love with the idea of using mini quilts as wall art so I plan to make a few soon.

Vicki H said...

I have a quilt on my bed and of course one or two on the couch. I have given many away to family members.

I make all sizes of quilts and either stack them, roll them and place then in crocks, hang them on walls and even sometimes put them on beds! Quite a number of them end up as gifts and move out of my house completely - which is a good thing in so many ways. Love the new fabric line and looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of the book. - Marlene

I love making lap quilts, baby quilts, table runners, table toppers and mug rugs. I even make quilty bags. Sometimes when I don't have time to start a big project I know I can grab my scraps and make a mug rug for instant gratification. I have a wall quilt idea in mind for my nautical themed family room. I also want to have quilty items for all the holidays and seasons so I can change things up and decorate my home.

I like all types, sometimes for the bed sometimes for a blank spot on the wall, or even for my cabinet at work. Thanks for the chance to win!
