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

HelenW OFFLINE Posts: 604 Thank you received: 1621	Annis, WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I love every thing about it. The horizontal layout of block, the square in a square border the size of blocks. It is my favorite of all the Afternoon Delights. Like it even better than the one I am still working on. I too am using horizontal layout, and adding 9 patch flying geese block border. HelenW

My quilt top has been finished for a few weeks. My phone was giving me trouble with downloading but I was able to print and scan so the color isn't perfect but that's the best I can do for now. The close up picture did download so the coloring is better on it. I think it's time to do some quilting by check as I haven't made much progress this year on quilting.

My blocks are 4 1/2" and the finished top is about 49" x 59".

First of all, Margo, you look beautiful and it is so wonderful to see a post from you. I still have many, many posts and tutorials saved on my computer from years ago that you shared with us on TQS. And your Afternoon Delight quilt is just beautiful as well. I'm finishing up my applique and will be ready to put it together very soon. I've enjoyed the journey with this BOM this year. Thank you for sharing with us!

terrils OFFLINE Posts: 52 Thank you received: 203	To Margo- WOW! Congratulations on reaching the 2020 TQS BOM finish line in 2020. You inspire. I appreciate you sharing overall quilting photo as I will be doing my own with overall pantograph. And your basket quilt was amazing, too.

I'm so glad I was able to finish this before the end of the year!
I thought the design was busy enough without using the printed background fabric in the kit, so I bought a mottled background fabric and used the kit fabric for the back of the quilt.
I used Quilter's Select Appli-Web Plus for all of the applique instead of turned edges or I would still be sewing! The raw edges were zigzagged with Superior's Monopoly.
I quilted it myself on my HandiQuilter16 with a simple pantograph. I have put a label on every quilt that I've ever made and this was no exception, and I hope you will add information to your quilt too!

ConstanceGail OFFLINE Posts: 13 Thank you received: 65	Thanks for the comments. I have never thought to shorten my stitch when doing small blocks I have learned something. I found it particularly bad if I had to rip a seam out. Then redoing seams. I took an online class from Elizabeth Hartman once and she back stitch all the time. Of course I did not think of that class until after I was sewing the quilt together. I usually use a 2.5 stitch length.

bbquiltmaker OFFLINE Posts: 1498 Thank you received: 1762	ConstanceGail, I am curious--what size stitch length did you piece the Double 9 patches with? With tiny blocks like these that have so many seams it would be best to reduce the normal piecing length, about 1.75 might be better than my usual 2.0. I, too, found the seams would tend to open and that happened a lot with the piano key borders of Ruffled Roses. Your quilt is beautiful.

ConstanceGail OFFLINE Posts: 13 Thank you received: 65	I can’t believe I have this almost done. I am pleased with the finished quilt although if I were to do it again I would have back stitched on those nine patches as they started coming apart! Enjoyed everyone’s post an d sad to see it finished in some respects

We have come to the end on another great Block of the Month quilt. See a lovely edge-to-edge quilting design—this quilt does not need fancy custom quilting, unless you want to invest that kind of time.

Post your finished tops/quilts here for all to admire.

And DON’T FORGET to save the patterns NOW—they will go away after December 31, 2020 and you will have to purchase any of them you need from the designer’s website.
