vintagelady OFFLINE Posts: 15 Thank you received: 53	My Afternoon Delight quilt top is finished. It was made with antique fabrics from the 1870’s. It was purchased at an antique show last summer in a wooden crate.

Thank you, Barbara, for sharing this! I have been sewing, sewing, sewing on the nine patch groups, and today finally have all the strip combinations sewn and cut in 1 1/4 increments. So, tomorrow begins sewing the nine-patches together. I have completed all of the applique released up to this date, and the shoo-fly blocks. I have to tell you, all the time this has taken has surely made the short time you and your friends put this quilt together all the more impressive!!! I appreciate all of your comments/pictures/guidance this year! Beverly

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	I did write this about pressing the two pieced blocks: bbquiltmaker.blogspot.com/2020/03/afternoon-delight-month-6-early-release.html Does this help? Seeing these photos so big— I need to do some assertive pressing before I baste this and quilt it. Plan to do that this week so your timing with this question is excellent.

Boots1950 OFFLINE Posts: 19 Thank you received: 61	Barbara, Since you have already finished an Afternoon Delight quilt, can you give us some tips on which way to press the seams? Even to the very end when sewing the rows together. Thx. Karen.

Thank you Barbara, I went to your blog and the area for tutorials and found the tutorial on using floater borders to make pieced borders fit. It is excellent.
All quilters need this in their tool box. I hope everyone who reads this post goes to your website and takes the time to read it. Another coincidence , you learned it from
Sue Garman and here I am wanting to use it to adapt a Sue Garman quilt pattern and using her technique to do. HelenW

Ricky Tims new pattern might have the perfect border for the Afternoon Delight quilters that plan to do a horizontal rather than on point layout and plan to do a border.
I plan to order Ricky's pattern, and when I looked at that border I thought I might be able to use that also in my Afternoon Delight quilt. The little nine patch in the flying geese would look great as a border since the body has all those little nine patches in the main body of the quilt. I did not ask permission to post Ricky's quilt picture here so if
that is a problem Barbara Black you can just delete this post. Would not want to cause any problems. HelenW

Great idea! I am with Ricky today and he wholeheartedly approves of this idea. I have a Tutorial on my blog on how to make pieced borders fit if you need help.

NanaPie OFFLINE Posts: 702 Thank you received: 219	Thank you, Pemela! This quilt is going to go to my son and daughter-in-love when completed. She loves orange/green/royal blue/taupe colors, and I've had fun pulling the fabrics together. I've surprised myself by being able to find the right combinations of fabrics in my stash pretty much. It feels good to use up some stash too. Hugs and love to you too!
