Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (46/54) - 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:

bpalluzi OFFLINE Posts: 31 Thank you received: 118	I've finished the 2 Shoo Fly Blocks. I'm working on the Applique blocks. I was away for 2 weeks this month and am just catching up. The blocks have not yet been trimmed as I realized after I had them done, that I didn't orient the 4 patch blocks with the prints perpendicular to the center block. I'll ask in the Shoo Fly block if that will be a problem. But anyway here they are as they are now.

Ckewing 3901, Your blocks all look great. Nice to know that using different techniques can still give the same beautiful results. Good Job!!!
If you are ready for February, go ahead and start now. In the TQS video with Barbara Black I think I remember her saying to Ricky that you do
two shoo fly in the first month and two in the second. So why not do them ahead of schedule. And the total shoo fly will be 9. I know when
winter is over my quilting season slows dramatically. So anything I can get done early is a bonus. HelenW

Ckewing3901 OFFLINE Posts: 34 Thank you received: 82	I finally finished my Month 1 blocks. They certainly aren't professional, but I'm okay with that. I'll get better as we go along. On the first two blocks I used freezer paper and starch; Blocks 3 and 4 were needle turned. Ready for February! Attachments: IMG_8423.jpg (73KB)

Mailmanldy OFFLINE Posts: 236 Thank you received: 70	I like your blocks!! I wouldn't change anything. For month one, you only need to make 2 Shoo Fly blocks. However, there are only 9 total in the quilt, so if you wanted to make the others, you could. Then you wouldn't have as much to do the other months they were to be done. Diane in Colorado Springs

Debbie, I have a Husquvara Designer 1 that is about 25 years old . I set the length of stitch at 3.0 and the width at 2.5. It is a double blanket stitch that puts down two layers of thread. The stitch goes side,back, side, ,back forward,back forward. I use what ever thread I have that matches the applique . I have a lot of Mederia rayon colors in 40 weight. I match the bobbin to the top color. I use the thread colors as added interest. Usually I go a couple shades lighter or darker than the applique. That way you see the stitch pattern. HelenW

debbieb59 OFFLINE Posts: 5 Thank you received: 6	HelenW, What type of thread did you use to stitch the applique? I have a Bernina 790, if you have a Bernina could you please tell me the settings you used on the applique blanket stitch? I love how yours looks.

eyestitch OFFLINE Posts: 41 Thank you received: 29	Thank you. I have ordered Quilter's Select 80 to use on top. I do have neutral Bottom Line. I will use that in the bobbin.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Eye stitch, I also use Quilters select 80 or 60 wt or Bottom Line, in a neutral color. Adjust tension so it does not show on the top.. BERNINA has a new yellow bobbin case that is high tension, it works perfectly to keep tension right. Do some practice to get your settings how you like them. Be sure to write them down for the next block.

ginnyleber OFFLINE Posts: 23 Thank you received: 85	eye stitch, do you have any bottom line or have purchased any of that 80 wt thread from The Quilt Show shop. that thin thread works well in the bobbin for machine appliqué.
