Topic: SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks (47/54) - 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 couple I had to rethink. But I needed to redo one block that was already finished. Needed my puppies to be represented in the quilt

ginnyleber OFFLINE Posts: 23 Thank you received: 85	HelenW, what a good idea to exchange a shoofly block for an appliqué if you want. Since the quilt can be whatever I we choose, why not?

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Heather, Take a look at applique blocks and if there any that you don't really like the looks of, make a shoo fly to replace them. I too love making them. They all look great no matter what the colors that are used. HelenW

ginnyleber OFFLINE Posts: 23 Thank you received: 85	Here are my blocks for the month. I love all the blocks that others have posted. Our quilts are going to be spectacular. I used appliquick tools and glue to turn the edges and I think they all turned out well. It takes me about an afternoon to finish one of these blocks, so I am loving the name of our quilt.

Barbara, Thank you for the compliment. I am happy with the way the blocks turned out.I decided on raw edge applique. I used Print and Fuse thru our HP printer and Kim Diehl's
freezer paper. I make one copy on each product then cut the main applique with the print and fuse on the back side of the fabric and the smaller
pieces I just cut out of the freezer paper and put on a scrap of fabric that has a small piece of print and fuse pressed to the back. I like the accuracy of
putting the design thru the printer. My tracing is alway a little wonky looking. I use Solvy easy tear away stabilizer under the block when I do the
double blanket stitch along the edges. With the freezer paper small pieces I can easily fussy place it on the front of the fabric. On the flower appliqué
I just made sure the little gold lines on the 2nd piece up of the flower were all running vertically not horizontally. HelenW

TammyW OFFLINE Posts: 9 Thank you received: 4	Your blocks look amazing. What appliqué method did you use? I am still picking out fabrics but have also decided to use one background color. Seeing your blocks has pumped me up to get started !!!!

JudithA OFFLINE Posts: 520 Thank you received: 269	Nfiegirl, Your blocks look great. I like how you used the one background fabric. It makes them "play well" with each other. I may have to rethink my background fabrics. Judy
