Topic: Month 3–New Appliqué Blocks (2/3) - 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:

ellenceleste OFFLINE Posts: 52 Thank you received: 173	Finished my March blocks. I'm really enjoying the applique blocks. I'm also more in love with my bubble material the more blocks I do with them.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Helen, each month the Newsletter does a direct link to my monthly post about the Block of the Month. If people don’t read the newsletters or come to the Forum, they miss out. I am glad to know you find the blogs helpful—that is why I do them. And people can always follow the blog by email—I write two a week. Only the first of the month is about the BOM.

Barbara, Thank you for getting your blog info on the daily blog this morning. I think it will help those
struggling quilters that don't have the time to search the forums etc. for help, because they prefer
to use that precious time making quilts. They just don't know what they are missing. Making it easier access
is always great. Thanks to the TQS staff for the quick response to our request. One last possible idea,
to put your blog website link on the page where they post the monthly patterns. I

included a picture of the place
I am talking about. It would make one stop access even more convenient. Thanks Barbara for all your help.

Sawdust, I would love to see a picture of your Happy Daze quilt. I looked it up and saw that it is another Sue Garman pattern.

You probably are an expert. Do you have any tips or tricks that you learned as you made it. What techniques did you use?
Raw edge applique, needle turn etc. I am posting a picture of the one I saw on line so others can see how great those twirly balls
look when they are feature applique in a quilt. I also loved the other quilt Sue designed with twirly balls. HelenW

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	Linda’s suggestion would work as would Sue’s instructions. It would be a bit challenging to turn under the spiral rays along the curve of the P4 circle after P4 was appliquéd in place, as Linda said. If I were doing this one with needle turn I would try Linda’s suggestion—appliqué spiral rays to a P4 circle, then appliqué that unit to the center of the block.

AnnetteJ - There are special instructions for Block 10 on p. 2 of Month 3 instructions... but they are not quite clear.

With Block 10, first center the P3 outer ring fabric on the center of the background fabric.
Applique it in place. Next, applique a circle of P4 fabric inside the P3 outer ring. Evenly place
the spiral rays of print fabric P3 in position atop the P4 circle. When you have them arranged
appropriately, baste and applique all of these pieces in place, turning under the spiral units
along their curved edges, and turning the end of the spiral units under along with the P4 fabric
circle. Finally, applique a P4 circle in the center of the spiral array.

The instructions say to applique down the P4 circle and then to place and baste and applique down the spiral ray units - but then to turn the ends of the spiral units under along with the P4 fabric, which is tricky if you have already appliqued down the P4 circle... if I'm understanding this correctly... So, my plan is to baste down the P4 circle, attach the spiral ray P3 units and then applique down the combined P3 and P4 edge.
