Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (5/54) - 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:

@eyestitch, I've also been contemplating how I want to quilt this quilt. I'm finishing the last applique block today, but I still have half the 9-patch blocks to do. A daunting task! I expected to retire last June, but I felt my school needed me, so I've continued to work. Looking forward to these blocks every month has been my emotional savior, since the concentration required on a Saturday morning means I'm too focused to think about school, or kids, or anything else. I also want to try to do this on my own, and I'm most likely going to very carefully use a quilt-as-you-go method. While continuing to make my nine-patches, I'm going to get everything ready to individually quilt each block and start assembling them from one corner. My house is small, and I don't have a design wall, but I do have photoshop and pics of all the individual blocks, so I think I'm going to take those photos and play around with them on the computer to see which square will go where. By Christmas break, I should have enough prepped and ready to make a start. Fingers crossed. It still may not be terribly fancy, but this quilt has been quite the learning experience and quilting it should be fun!

eyestitch OFFLINE Posts: 41 Thank you received: 29	Quilting. I am very interested in how everyone's Afternoon Delights are quilted. I am going quilt my own, which seems daunting for me as I have mostly used pantographs and I want to custom quilt this. I very much like how Barbara quilted hers, as shown in her tips. I would like to see more ideas before I embark on quilting mine.

Chrys OFFLINE Posts: 52 Thank you received: 164	Jupergee Thank you! I love 1800s fabrics, too, and tried to use them as much as possible. The Apliquick method helped me work through these small applique blocks. The "perfect" part of the blocks was having this method to rely on by this imperfect person
