SHOW AND TELL--Your Blocks

[Heather7]

My goodness you all are so much further along, just having fun with the applique blocks, finished August, Yay!

[LauraL]

I realized I didn't post in July. I finished my applique blocks and 10 double Nine- patch blocks (not all in the photo).

My progress so far on Afternoon Delight. Need a whole lot more double nine patch blocks... HelenW

Looking very pretty!

Using Afternoon Delight blocks in another project. I love taking part of one pattern and putting it together with another pattern, and playing around
with different sizes. This time I went with flannel and black kona cotton. Did the Over and Down Under pattern half size and then plan a border of Afternoon
Delight blocks around the edges. May do more, just deciding as I go. HelenW

That’s a beautiful idea. I saw that down under pattern a few weeks ago. Looks like fun. Again, just beautiful.

August applique blocks completed - despite the heat wave!

Lovely

My August blocks. I'm making progress on the additional Shoo Fly blocks for the layout Diane showed - only three more to go - then on to the gazillion nine patches!

[Pemela]

Beverly your blocks are beautiful, sending you hugs and love xxx

[NanaPie]

Thank you, Pemela! This quilt is going to go to my son and daughter-in-love when completed. She loves orange/green/royal blue/taupe colors, and I've had fun pulling the fabrics together. I've surprised myself by being able to find the right combinations of fabrics in my stash pretty much. It feels good to use up some stash too. Hugs and love to you too!

[Chrys]

Nana Pie,

This will be quite the special gift for your son and daughter-in-law!

Ricky Tims new pattern might have the perfect border for the Afternoon Delight quilters that plan to do a horizontal rather than on point layout and plan to do a border.
I plan to order Ricky's pattern, and when I looked at that border I thought I might be able to use that also in my Afternoon Delight quilt. The little nine patch in the flying geese would look great as a border since the body has all those little nine patches in the main body of the quilt. I did not ask permission to post Ricky's quilt picture here so if
that is a problem Barbara Black you can just delete this post. Would not want to cause any problems. HelenW

Great idea! I am with Ricky today and he wholeheartedly approves of this idea. I have a Tutorial on my blog on how to make pieced borders fit if you need help.

[HelenW]

Thank you Barbara, I went to your blog and the area for tutorials and found the tutorial on using floater borders to make pieced borders fit. It is excellent.
All quilters need this in their tool box. I hope everyone who reads this post goes to your website and takes the time to read it. Another coincidence , you learned it from
Sue Garman and here I am wanting to use it to adapt a Sue Garman quilt pattern and using her technique to do. HelenW
