Afternoon Delight was one of Sue Garman's favorite patterns. This wonderfully scrappy quilt is truly a delight to make with its combination of simple appliqué blocks and Double Nine-Patch blocks, and modified Shoo Fly blocks. Each month you will work on pieced and appliquéd blocks, and in the final month, you will assemble the blocks and add the outer border. The finished quilt measures approximately 86 1/2" square.

Scroll down for the Facebook Live Video featuring Susan Cleveland in Houston.

Following the video is information about the BOM Kit.

 

Enjoy the Facebook Live that Susan Cleveland recorded in Houston.
