Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (30/54) - 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 March Blocks and waiting for April. I am loving getting the opportunity to see all the beautiful blocks everyone is making.
I also love the fact that I have learned a lot of ways to get the same finished blocks. Barbara, just wanted to mention that I think your
husband picked a great color, blue, for your Patriotic Pineapple quilt border. It is beautiful. Makes me want to make a patriotic quilt too.
Helen

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Janet, I love the way you fussy cut the small circles and the placement of designs on the fabrics. You really think thru using the fabric to add interest to the block. Love the secondary design from just the lay out of your shoo fly blocks. Looks like you are really having fun and enjoying this pattern. Beautiful work. HelenW

Hi Eyestitch:

Thanks for your comments. Here is a picture of how I used pattern weights in cutting the strips. I didn't have a long sewn strip, so I improvised a bit, but I think it still works as an example. In the top example, I have the long strip. I placed 3 weights on the strip spread across the length, with one on the top seam, one in the middle, and one on the bottom seam. I left enough space to do my cut at the front end. As I cut I move the weights bunching them up a bit to keep enough room to do my cuts. It is important not to have the weight too close to where you are cutting as it can interfere with a clean cut. The last example shows what I did at the end. I kept 2 of the weights and placed them right on the end. I like these small weights as they fit well on the strips and are easy to move. When I was cutting the strips from a piece of fabric, I spread the weights out across the length and they held the fabric in place. These weights are sold by Dritz. They come in a 4 pack and are sold on Amazon. You don't need more than 4 for this. I have a few more as I used them when I was sewing garments particularly when using knits. Let me know if I wasn't clear.
