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

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	It’s fun to watch the progress everyone makes, but it’s also fun to put a real profile face with a name. Hope y’all will consider coming out of hiding! PS. I’m still learning my way around this new-to-me web site since I haven’t been here for so long! I’m trying to get it all figured out!

Yes only white, but using whatever white on white or plain white I have in my stash, if I run out I will just by some more of whatever I can find.

FYI for the 4 patch ages ago, I bought a cheap jelly roll of mixed white on whites, they were not exactly 2 1/2 wide but I thought one day I could use them, well with the 1 1/4 X 5-inch strips I am using this jelly roll and cutting down, quick and easy and not worried about the waste as only cost me AUS $7.00 per jelly roll of 45 strips (US$4.92).

I am also using for the 2 1/2 square then cut into triangles, as they need to be trimmed if the strip is off a bit does not matter.

On the day of purchase, I did unroll and let soak for a few hours in light soapy water then gently rinsed and laid on the lawn to dry, this was to avoid any shrinkage, just to be sure due to the cheap price.

Just make sure you have the four patch running the same direction.

I check the Forum frequently to catch all questions, so no worries. You are more likely to get answers from others about specific months if you post on the Topic called Month 1, etc.

Using scraps I did not make a chart--anything that works for the size needed was fair game. I didn't worry which fabrics were used where--this quilt is so scrappy, you will never be able to tell which blocks were made in Month 1 and which in later Months. And if you run out of one red, any other red will work just as well!

The methodical quilter among us probably will designate a number to each fabric--that certainly works too. Do whatever you are comfortable with.and that makes you happy.

eyestitch OFFLINE Posts: 41 Thank you received: 29	This may not be the right place to ask questions, but I just read through month one. Using your own fabrics did you make a fabric chart with scraps of fabric naming them B1, B2, B3, etc. and P1, P2, P3 etc?
