"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:
I only soaked the appliqué blocks to remove glue and the pattern fiber. I didn’t use heavy starch on the pieced blocks. Practicing now with starch on Double 9 Patch blocks. I would wait to wash the entire quilt when completely finished, quilted and bound.
Should I wash all the blocks or just the ones that have glue in them? I an wondering about the ones that I have sprayed with starch and also best press?
