Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (27/54) - 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:

Finished my April applique blocks. I changed the centers of two of the blocks after getting the idea from the person
that put her last name in applique. I also threw in a picture of the mini Over and Under wall hanging that I am working
on at the same time. The squares are 1 inch. The pattern by Bonnie Sullivan calls for 2 inch blocks. I still have one more pieced
border on the bottom, then I am going to do a second round of borders that are applique. HelenW

I have completed all my applique blocks; including the two for June but none of my pieced blocks. Self-quarantine has not given me any more sewing time because I am still working, just from home. Seems like my extra time is spent cleaning the kitchen. I don’t know how one person can make so many messes.

I have experimented with applique methods since the beginning and I think I have finally found my home – Back Basting. I have added one step that I haven’t seen other do, after I baste the fabric to the block, I trace around the inside of the basting stitches on the applique fabric because sometimes those stitch holes disappear right before my eyes. I’m using Crayola Washable Markers which I tested before using.

ajclapp, Your pieced blocks are beautiful. I really like the way the cornerstones in your small sashings completes the lines made by the double nine patches.
Your cross quilt is beautiful too. Thanks for putting it in with the Afternoon Delight pictures. I love seeing what others are doing, and since I don't do Facebook
I miss out on a lot that is posted there. Are your cross square 1 inch size? Is your cow OK? HelenW
