"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:

Almost ready for my final two borders. My design wall isn't quite large enough to hold this portion properly.

Little did the computer logarithm understand that the "stack" referred to fabric squares........

Sew on and thank you all for the inspiration you have all given me .

Helen. Can you explain how you put the 9 patches together and they need trimming? Have I missed something important? I’m confused

TammyW, You have not missed anything. I am sorry if I confused you. When I started, back in Jan. 2020, I made a small sample batch of little nine patches, and several were
about 1/16 off matching at intersections. I was frustrated so I decided to find a more accurate way of doing it. I have the book , Mini Mosaics by Paula Doyle and knew that
would work for the process, giving me exact point matches, much like paper piecing. It takes longer and uses fusible interfacing, much like paper piecing uses foundation papers.
When there was a request on the forum on how to trim the applique blocks to size, I knew I had used that template on both the applique and double nine patch, so that is why
I inserted the photo. I did not have an applique that needed trimming at the time, and I did have that 9 patch. HelenW

Mergwat, admiring your stack. I’m at this point and feel cutting them to size is the hardest task keeping the motif centered

Cheddar, Definitely read Barbara's blog. This is a picture of how I did it. I drew the finished size and added the seam allowance, and then made horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines on tracing paper. You can see thru it. Placed it on the block, laid my ruler on top of the tracing paper and cut. It would also work for the applique. I used a different method
for my double nine patch, so that is why I needed to trim them to size also. HelenW

Cheddar, did you see my blog on how to easily trim the appliqué blocks and keep the motif centered? This worked perfectly for me:
