Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (14/54) - 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:

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Using Afternoon Delight blocks in another project. I love taking part of one pattern and putting it together with another pattern, and playing around with different sizes. This time I went with flannel and black kona cotton. Did the Over and Down Under pattern half size and then plan a border of Afternoon Delight blocks around the edges. May do more, just deciding as I go. HelenW

The straight set that I laid out finishes 86x86, including borders (1" and 4.5"). It's 11 blocks square. You can see it at thequiltshow.com/forum/bom-2020-afternoon-delight/8983-color-and-layout-check. I'm still learning EQ, so my colors are not so pretty yet.

Beverly, (NanaPie) Not sure about the queen size version that you asked about. If the blocks are 6.75 finished and I had 8 blocks across and 10 down; and the
border is the same size block, I think it would measure 67.5 by 81. But I could be off, so figure the math your self. A queen mattress top plus the drop you want on
the sides would determine what size you want. If you have a specific size in inches, let me know and maybe I can figure it out. The measurements are different
for on point versus horizontal layout of blocks. The original quilt is (on point) is 85 by 85. Hope this helps. HelenW

Patti (Catalinaquilter), You asked what I was planning for a border, and really had not thought about it. This morning I tried a couple ideas in EQ 8. It is not applique friendly
when it comes to applique, so I had to pick some that were already programmed into the software, but you might be able to get the idea. The white square was because I
am out of time so they would be filled with applique blocks. This is just to start getting me thinking about it. If i do more I will post it for you. HelenW
