Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (45/54) - 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:

A happy coincidence! I have admired Sue Garman's work for many years. Just prior to the New Year, I viewed the "Afternoon Delight" quilt at the New England Quilt Museum as part of an exhibit of her work. To have this quilt be the TQS 2020 BOM is icing on the cake. I love the timeless appeal of this beautiful folk art quilt and look forward to spending pleasant time on this project knowing there is a TQS support system of advice and tips in place

The blocks for January are attached.

Hi Beverly, your blocks are beautiful, the colours are absolutely gorgeous. As you know Beverly I love applique but I do find piecing challenging! I started my blocks yesterday and thanks to Barbara's fab instructions/demo on TQS I managed to make 2 of the Shoo Fly blocks, what is even more of a miracle they actually measure to the correct size (Yippee).
Did I tell you that I have finished the top of the Hugs and Kisses quilt?
Love Pam x

Last year I made Edyta Sitar's Dresden Blooms quilt. My daughter in law loved the prints and vibrant colors of Edyta's "Jelly Bean" fabric line used in the quilt. BUT, she needs an over-sized queen quilt for their bed and that completed quilt is not large enough. So, my plan is to use every single smidgen of leftover fabrics from that quilt and work it in to this beautiful pattern, plus fabrics from my stash. She does not sew, but is so appreciative of the time and love that is put in to these projects, and cherishes the quilts she has of her great-grandmother. I will be enlarging this quilt for her. I used needle turn applique for my applique blocks and enjoyed every relaxing minute of it!

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	It will not matter, you will be hard pressed to notice that from 6 feet away. I alternated a few of mine in the sample quilt and I don’t think you can see it, but you welcome to try. Mine is the blue border one.
