Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (11/54) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

"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 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" inches square.

Let's use this Topic "Afernoon Delight Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful 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:

Eyestitch, Yes, Over and Down Under is a pattern by Bonnie Sullivan. I made it half size; so the squares are 1 inch finished instead of 2 inch. Then I just started making
some applique blocks. Have not figured out exactly what I have in mind. Will use black sashing strips to make things fit together. The fabric, except the jet black kona
cotton, is a flannel fabric line designed by Bonnie Sullivan. I just love the colors. I am using Ricky Tims couching technique to outline the applique. Using 6 strand DMC
embroidery floss. Right now I am waiting for more black fabric. I ordered from Hancock of Paducah on Sept. 29 and it has not shipped yet. They are over there head in
orders. HelenW

eyestitch OFFLINE Posts: 41 Thank you received: 29	HelenW I love this dark version with the over under. Is the over under a pattern or did you make it up. I can't wait to see it finished. I hope you publish a picture of it in this forum, so I will be notified and can see it.

Groverquilts OFFLINE Posts: 18 Thank you received: 10	I decided to make my BOM quilt a bit smaller. Instead of 88 it is about 67 square. I am also going to add some applique to the border. What you see in the border is paper for now until I decide what I want to do. I think I'll look at it for a week. I still have 5 more blocks to applique. I really love the way this is turning out. #BOMSueGarmen

Waiting for fabric, but can still work on double nine patches. I did not have enough navy blue batik scraps to do my inner fake border, so I had to order some
and also some Kona Jet Black cotton from Hancock of Paducah. They are really running slow due to Covid and our local quilt shop went out of business a month
ago, so it is online ordering. The modified Over and Down Under has a number of the applique blocks from Afternoon Delight so I decided to thru a pic of it in too.

eyestitch OFFLINE Posts: 41 Thank you received: 29	HelenW. Thank you so much. I was thinking the 9 patch had to be a different size. This really simplifies it!!! I am anxious to see your final quilt top.

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Eyestitch, The 9 patch is the same size as the ones in the double nine patch. Unfinished 2 3/4 square. I make it up and lay it in position one of the foundation and just treat it like a patch of fabric. Worked great. HelenW

Continuing to audition ideas for my border illusions. Since I am going to do Quilt in Sections I figure I would like to have the look
of a border, but included in the size of the blocks in the quilt body. I drafted the 9 patch flying geese in EQ8 from Rickys new book.
Used the idea, and changed the size so two flying geese are the same size as one finished block. To get the narrow dark border
I plan to add a narrow strip to the inside of the geese block. Then that will be treated as horizontal rows of blocks. I plan to quilt
it in quarter sections. Then put the 4 sections together. Still open to change, depending on how things look as I move forward.

Eyestitch, I used the curved ruler set from the Quilted Pineapple, by Linda Hrcka. They are great rulers. Here are photos of the rulers--the longer one was use for the outside curve in the border. I practice on paper first to figure out which ruler will work best. For curved cross hatching you need a ruler that is long enough to cover the entire curve--no moving the ruler once you begin the curve.

eyestitch OFFLINE Posts: 41 Thank you received: 29	Barbara, can you tell us what diameters of circles you used for the diagonal cross hatching. I have never done diagonal cross hatching, but I love it and I know I will want to try it sometime. Knowing how big your circle rulers were will help me tremendously. Thanks.
