Topic: AFTERNOON DELIGHT—the Wrap Up (1/3) - 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:

Lynnanne OFFLINE Posts: 40 Thank you received: 67	Ok thank you both! I'm going to try to split the batting to quilt it. The colors are really bright but I had to make do with what I had. It was really fun to make and a great learning experience. Attachments: image_2021-01-23.jpg (63KB)

Hello, could someone suggest what batting to use? The quilt top is already heavy and I'm not sure what to use as a batting. Thank you!

Lynnanne, I am so happy for you to have the top done. Whoo Hoo!!! I have not taken mine out of its bin, since I started playing around with Color My World with Flannel.
I use Warm and Natural batting. It is 100 percent cotton and flat. I like that since my Husquvarna machine does not have much room for stuffing the whole quilt thru. That
is also why I also plan to do quilt in sections. Would love to see a picture of your top. HelenW

Good idea Helen. I have watched her class before and I"m watching again now. I'm planning to do the other setting but I still have to figure out how I want to do the borders as I just finished the nine patches finally! Probably just white borders so I can use the fabric I have...or maybe something more intricate like yours so it will be awhile before I get to the quilting but luckily you suggested quilting in sections! I have a Pfaff Quilt Expression that has a little more throat space so I think I will do the appliqué blocks how you suggested and stitch in the ditch the nine patches. Good luck on yours...it’s really pretty,!

Thank you Helen! No, the seams won't be pressed open...actually I have about 10 more nine patches to go and then I will start sewing them together. I will definitely use your suggestions for quilting and mostly stitch in the ditch I think. Otherwise I will never get it finished. I like the clear thread suggestion although on this quilt white will be fine. I live in Italy and have never seen Superior Threads here but I have been able to order Apliquik clear thread and it works fine although I am not much of an expert! I have to adjust the tension to get the stitches right. About stitching around the appliqué, how close to the appliqué do you stitch...right next to it, or more of an echo? Thanks for your helpI can't wait to see your quilt. You always have original ideas and it’s nice that you pass them on.

LynneAnne, The clear Superior thread recommends you turn your top tension way down. I go from 4.6 default on my really old Husqvarna to 2.3. Then it stitches fine. Otherwise
it is a mess and breaks. Do you plan to quilt on a regular sewing machine, or do you have a longarm or mid arm? I am quilting in sections the Marti Michelle method.
I have never done it, but I bought her book, and have watched her video on Craftsy showing how to do it.
Another question, do you free motion, or are you planning to use regular sewing machine stitching with the feed dogs up?
For the applique you can do either, stitch right next to the outside outline of the applique or echo stitch at about 1/4 inch. Another possibility if you have more time, is
to stitch close to edge, then do a larger meandering in the white background. That would look really pretty.
I have one panel almost put together the size I plan to quilt. Then you connect the quilted panels. That is what Marti Michelle's technique does.
Don't know if my plan will work, but somehow it will get done.
