Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

Suzanne,
After seeing Barbara's post that the blocks are 6.75 inches, I thought, what will be the best way to do it if you want edge turned, machine stitched applique.
The first thing that came to mind was Ricky Tims Stable Stuff. Print the design on the inkjet printer, cut out on sewing line. glue stick to back of fabric, cut 1/4 inch
larger on fabric, (fussy trim the tight areas), use Apliquick tools to edge turn with glue around edge of piece. Since you can leave the stable stuff you just put it on
the background fabric and machine stitch. I sure their will be lots of ideas coming up on the forum on how quilters will approach it. HelenW

Barbara, what size are the finished blocks???? If they are large, that would mean the applique pieces wouldn't be teeny tiny.

Thanks,

Suzanne

Holly,
I love raw edge appliqué in wall hangings, but in quilts I go to edge turned, machine stitched appliqué. There are many famous quilters that use this technique with
a 1.0- 1.0 zig zag stitch. Caryl Fallert Gentry has a tutorial on her website. After watching the quilt show that featured the inventor of the Appliquick tools, i use them
for turning the edge, and it works great. Raw edge appliqué is the fastest. next would be edge turned machine stitched appliqué, and slowest (but portable and meditative)
hand applique. Bet you would love the results you get with machine stitched edge turned. A lot of quilters use the blanket stitch on the edge and it looks great too.

Ah. That explains how you made the sample quilt in three weeks! (per the FB video).

My sample quilt was made with raw edge machine appliqué, very fast. No hand work on this quilt except the binding

After seeing the 2020 BOM, Afternoon Delight by Sue Garman, I went to her blog site(Come Quilt) and Sept. 2012 she
introduces the first look at the quilt and explains her thought process in designing it. She also shows pictures of the appliques.
It was very interesting, she was an incredible designer. Worth reading.

Thanks for the information on where we can see and find out more about the 2020 BOM. I love it but did not realize when I saw it on the Facebook reveal video that the feature blocks are hand applique. I don't enjoy hand applique. Sigh. Perhaps I can make a smaller version.

In order to start a 2020 BOM quilt, I need to finish the 2019 quilt. I have been trying to figure out a border that I will like. Here is what I decided to make. I hope it shows up since I exported it from Illustrator.

What an awesome BOM. If I go for this one, it will be in my own fabrics. I do love Sue Garman's patterns!
