"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:
In the Month 1, part 2 blog I explained that I soaked each block in warm water for about 15 minutes to remove glue and foundation paper. Allow to dry completely before trimming to 7.25”.
NOTE: all of the fibers of the foundation paper do not “wash out” but it is much less. It will probably get less with each washing, though I don’t wash my quilts frequently.
I am using the Apliquick method to make the applique blocks. I saw on TQS show where bb said she rinsed out foundation before assembly of sample quilt. I too want to do this. Being new to the technique, I need to know the process. I have searched and find no instructions. Help please.
