AFTERNOON DELIGHT--Month 8

This pattern is the 2020 Block of the Month pattern offered FREE to Star members of The Quilt Show--join today to receive the entire year of patterns free. This is in addition to all the great content provided by The Quilt Show, 26 shows, a new one every two weeks, and so much more. If you want to know more about why I am such a fan, here is why.

This month brings two more applique blocks and more Double 9 Patches, unless you are done all 64 of those. A few people have mentioned on the Forum that they just couldn't bring themselves to do all those Double 9 Patches with 3/4" finished squares. Someone mentioned a great alternative:  just make regular 9 patches. The blocks are 6.75" finished, so the squares are manageable at 2.25" finished. This will still give the quilt strong diagonal lines and have the feel of the original, with much less work. As I always say, "It's YOUR quilt, you get to decide".

Here are the two blocks in my sample quilt made with the help of the Sunday Sew and Sews last year:


Block 25

Block 26

I hope you are taking the time to watch the 4 Master Classes that The Quilt Show has put together--they include the best of many past shows. Two are on Piecing and two are on Applique. I "watch" them as I am sewing and jump up if I see something I just have to really watch closely. Some of my favorite teachers are in these shows, some who no longer teach and sadly, Sue Garman, who has passed away. Such a great way to see the wide variety of instruction and inspiration membership in The Quilt Show provides.

Recently, Alex Anderson told the world I am making the 2021 Block of the Month quilt from Australian designer Wendy Williams' pattern. Wendy has designed an exclusive quilt pattern only available in 2021 from The Quilt Show. I am hard at work on the machine quilting right now so I can be ready to tape The Quilt Show in Dallas later this month. I first wrote about this Here.

How about a teaser:

Mostly the back but there is a pretty amazing border fabric...
Eventually, you will get to see the entire quilt in all its' glory. I just know you are going to love it.

Let's quilt.

  3. I've made longer strips to cut the smaller 9 patch from. I've tried to make sure I have a variety of fabrics so they won't all look the same. But, it makes the double 9 patches go quicker...somewhat quicker.

  4. I am basically working like Alex on this BOM. Started with 2 fat Quarters of Civil War Fabric, but didn't have a good variety of colors so have gone thru stash and mixing. Worried about not enough backgrounds and now adding others. Have no idea how this will look. We shall see. And totally lost my thought of having the light background and border. Oh well. Lots of work to mess up. It's fun tho. Also haven't even started the hand applique, just have them prepared. I'm still working on Barbara Blackman's Civil War quilt from last year!!
