Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (31/54) - 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:

Here is my first Double Nine Patch Block. I have all the pieces cut out but I decided to do 5 of the small blocks and then build the full block rather than do all 60 of the small blocks first. It is a bit more motivating to finish a whole block than do so many of the same at once. I wanted to share a tip I learned cutting all these small pieces. I've been using pattern weights to help hold the strips still while I cut them. It really helps with the strips that are 2 or 3 strips sewn together. I was getting "wiggles" when I hit the seam with my rotary cutter. With the weights, no wiggle. I also starched and ironed the fabric at least twice. I sprayed one side, flipped it and ironed the opposite side making sure it was totally dry, then sprayed that side, flipped it and ironed until dry and then repeated. My fabric was quite firm and easy to cut plus there was a lot less fraying on the edges. Some of the fabric I again sprayed and ironed with Acorn Spray and Press. That added to the firmness, but it also added a lot of time (my ironing set up is in the basement and I sew on my main floor). I stopped the extra spraying when I felt the fabric was firm enough. While sewing, I did check to make sure all my pieces were coming out the correct size. my block is 7 1/4 inches. Now on to the next 11 blocks!!!

Heather7 OFFLINE Posts: 28 Thank you received: 164	SHOO FLY FAIL I'm usually a really good baker but my pan was crooked and it bubbled out instead of up. The parts that were done tasted great, I'm the gingerbread lady in the family so I still have molasses, may try it again.

Our local store didn’t have Redi Whip or Cool Whip or whipping cream, which I would have liked. My husband was happy I left my sewing room, found the kitchen and remembered how to bake!

ellenceleste OFFLINE Posts: 52 Thank you received: 173	My first two nine patch blocks. I starched the fabric after I'd made the initial row sets, but that was wonderful. Really helped with the accuracy. Unfortunately, tomorrow I have to find a way to be a librarian from home for 40 hours a week. So more blocks next weekend.
