Hey everyone, thanks for joining me today for Kim deals newest book called simple double dip
Quilts now, this is a very fun book
I can't wait to dive into it because I love Kim's colors
She's so creative and so fun to look what she does
So what she did what double dipped means not like double dipping your chip
It means she's taken like a traditional block and then done something else to it
To make it interesting or more interesting than it was before so I can't wait to show you all ten quilts in the book
So let's begin
All right, first up
we have
Just passing through
So I noticed on this one that we have lots of flying geese
But then on some of the flying geese
She's put some blocks in or she's patched work them
So look at how fun that
is
She was she's alternated geese
Some are light with dark corners. Some are dark with light corners. Some of this is all patchwork. This is not a panel
And then she's put some stars and some of them
Show you the back
It's got a twall on here
with an overall quilting design
Hope and harmony is the next one now, you know Kim is famous for her
Machine applique. This is done. So well, you can't even tell that it's done by machine
but very
Sneaky she is you can barely tell that there's a
stitched by machine there
How fun is this?
clamshell with a
nice little
Spray of leaves or that nice little
shape coming off
Scrappy scrappy scrappy using all what you got
Quilting on here is so beautiful. You won't be able to really see it on the back. I don't think
next up
This log cabin style quilt is called scrap basket
Probably using everyone in the scrap basket, right because it's a log cabin
Look at how beautiful that is
scrappy scrappy
red center still
very fun
another twall on the back
Nice
All right. Number four, I believe is behind me and it's called slap dash
so
she's done a
cross block here and
Intermixed it with the turn dash
Very cool, very fun
and one of the cool things about this book is it has lots of other tips in it and
she
Says she's got some alternating things that you can do as well. So she gives you all kinds of
Tips and then double takes and stuff like that for added inspiration on what you can do
So there's a lot of information in this book as well. So it's very fun to sit here and read all
About it. So and she tells you how you can change the look with colors
What fabrics you pick where you put your lights and dark stuff like that?
All right. The next one is
Called dilly dallying. How cute is that and look at this little guy?
How cute is he?
So she says before cleaning up and tossing her leftover scraps
She takes a few minutes to cut a handful of one and a half inch squares
She must love one and a half inch squares because she does lots of stuff with that size
And she just keeps mixing them in the same little bucket
So when she needs them, they're there for
What she calls go to stash
very clever
All right, this one is called raising the roof and this one was pretty interesting she just did like
Flipping so corners on two sides and then she slashed the whole block in half and added a strip
I was studying this one earlier while Kaylee was setting up the camera, but look at how fun that is
And then she didn't put the same side back together. So she sliced the block
Added that in probably trimmed it back down after she stitched it together
Great way to use up
Your fabrics look at this on the back. Now. You can really see the quilting on this one a
winding feather
Little guy left here I skipped him here
huckle buckle
Is this cute one here? So it looks like pinwheel blocks and then she's got them all framed out here
Better look at that
little mini Baptist fan on here
super cute
Here's the back
Simple pinwheel block and then she just added a couple squares and stuff to the outside of it
All right next up
Maple stars. This one is called so instead of just doing a maple leaf block. She added a star inside the maple leaf
She's got two different one for the background fabric and then a sashing that's very low volume
nothing high contrasting
Super super fun. All right back. She likes to put the big print on the back. So do I
Like I said, these books are so beautiful
Martingales photography art is so awesome. They take all kinds of close-up shots
staging the quilts
So when I first saw this quilt, I thought it was a cheater panel surprise inside
so she's done a
block a nine patch block in the middle and
then added
The little melons. I couldn't think of that shape earlier. I
Just called them leaves, but they're melons like a melon leaf, but how cute is that? But doesn't this look like a panel?
It's so awesome
There's the back on this one little clam or little not clamshells, but
kind of a little I
Don't know what that shape is called, but it's cute scale down to the night right size
And all those little circles are machine applique
beautiful
Heritage blossoms is next up must be the biggest one
There you go, so she looks like she triple-dipped this one a star in a
Turn dash and then quarter square triangles around the outside
makes beautiful big blocks
And I love how she does this very low volume sashing in there
So the blocks still stick out instead of having like a really dark sashing in there. She keeps it light
So everything pops off of it, but yet it's a different fabric. So it gives it a whole different look
Wow, it doesn't take long to go through ten quilts does it? Here's the back of this one
Nice feather design here again
So I know after seeing those ten quilts you have to add this to your Kim deal collection of books
Super fun. It's available right now
So either go on our website and grab yourself a copy of it and look for Kim's fabric from Hemmer glass as well
Thanks everyone and have a good day. See you next time
