I have a few more "Afternoon Delight" (Sue Garman) hand applique blocks finished. They are portable, so I mostly sew on them when I am away from home, waiting on some thing or another.
These will finish 6-3/4 inches. There are 40 appliqued blocks in this quilt.
I hope to get a lot of the double nine patch and other pieced blocks for this quilt done on my retreat at the end of September.
These are just delightful and fun to do! It is interesting and satisfying to experience my collection of shirting and repro fabrics as I sew. When I hand stitch, I can really study what went into the design of each fabric and enjoy each one. I think I used a different background for every block.
These one-piece designs may not be the most interesting, but they were certainly fun to stitch...just one thread choice per block for them!
I hope to prep the last block for the "Contentment" quilt today. I'm getting more and more excited about finishing that quilt. I have an idea for the inner border and lots of ideas for the outer border. Hopefully it will come together quickly.
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Glad you are getting things done. They are cute blocks and it is a very neat quilt that Sue had designed.Chris
ReplyDeleteLove seeing how these blocks are turning out. From the fiddly personal story blocks to these simple but stunning blocks. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFabulous blocks!
ReplyDeleteMore great blocks. I really like all the backgrounds you are using.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh! You know how much I LOVE your blocks! And I covet your fabrics. I only see one here I have, that lovely yellow green. Eager to see them with the pieced blocks.
ReplyDelete"Delight" is right! I love these blocks and what n honor to Sue that yours are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI made this quilt and I love it. So much fun to do. Your blocks look great!

Hard to select a favorite. Maybe the one with the cards background.
ReplyDeletelove that background fabric on that first block that you show. I love the pattern by Sue and it is one that has been on my list for a long time but I have never bought it. Maybe one day
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, in pattern and your fabric choices and workmanship!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are gorgeous. I have that green print with the yellow floral on it and everytime I reach for it I think John Deere tractor and I've hardly used it. You've used it beautifully here in a couple blocks - I need to give it a chance - lol! Just love the red onepiece design block.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful -I love your fabric choices and combinations.
