"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:

Thanks for your response.
I asked because I’ve been noticing how crisp and perfect Alex’s and all the posted blocks are.
I’ll look for her post.

PatEW, I both pre-wash and starch my fabrics before cutting. Margo wrote a great post on why you should starch and how she does it, but I can't remember which
topic area it was in. It helps stabilize the fabric so it cuts more precisely, and allow it to be more like paper so it does not stretch as much while stitching and makes for
more accurate piecing. HelenW
