The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri

I love all things Kim Diehl so, of course, this was a no-brainer. I have a big supply of her fabrics and scraps, so I did not have any trouble looking for the perfect fabrics. In each installment, a different block from her new book, Simple Whatnots IV, was presented. I had already made a number of these blocks in various projects during her Simple Whatnots monthly subscription, so I was familiar with the patterns and techniques.

Unfortunately, I gave this little quilt as a birthday present before I remembered to take a picture.

I have always wanted to make a low-light quilt, with very little color. This Fig Tree offering was very enticing, so I signed up. I have now become a BIG fan of Fig Tree fabrics. I have been working on other quilts, and I love the delicate prints and the sherbet-type colors that are so luscious. From the Linen Cupboard is the perfect summer quilt!
