Topic: MONTH 4–Appliqué Blocks and Shoo Fly Blocks (1/1) - 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:

It is only month 4 but not too early to keep your eyes open for quilting ideas for Afternoon Delight.
This morning I looked at the Daily Blog and watched Alex skype with Lori Kennedy. I went to Lori's website and
she has a wealth of information on free motion quilting. I usually draw the design and keep the feed dogs up and stitch
but her ideas would work well that way too. I loved how she just put a little quilting on top of the appliques. Most people,

including myself, just echo stitch around the appliques. Her, little bit of quilting on the appliques really adds interest.
I added one screen shot from her site to show you what I mean. HelenW

Barbara, Back to back patriotic quilts on your blog.Your demo quilt is beautiful. Can't believe you were able to get that entire 1/4 circle made with freezer paper out in one piece by slitting the back of the background fabric. I know for sure I must be using way too much glue when I edge turn with glue and the Appliquik tools. You did a beautiful job on
your one block that was entirely hand done. Your tutorials make making this quilt so much more fun, because you take the stress of trial and error out of the equation. I feel
I am learning so much. Thank you. HelenW
