A Little Afternoon Delight

I had some time this weekend to take a look at my Afternoon Delight Block of the Month pattern. The first month of the BOM has us making two pieced blocks and four applique blocks.
I decided it would be a good idea for me to cut all 40 of the applique backgrounds from my fat quarters before I start chopping them up for the pieced blocks. I cut two eight inch blocks from each fabric. These will be trimmed down to the finished size after the applique is done.

I'm not going to only do two of these blocks.
There are nine of them in the pattern and I will cut and sew all of them now while I have all the fabrics out on the cutting table. This block is going into the center of my quilt.

I've got a good start on the remaining eight and may take them along to quilt camp tomorrow, although I do worry about using my Bernina to finish them after mostly piecing them on my Juki. I guess we'll see how that goes.
Off to finish packing!

  3. Love your blocks (I call them Prairie Queen blocks). It is one of my favorite block patterns. It looks really cute in the fabric you have chosen.

  4. I got the instructions out and read them through. My applause patterns printed out too small. I'll have to figure out how to get my printed to print them full size. This hasn't happened before. I'm looking forward to getting started!

  10. That is a great block design. I really like the colors AND especially the conversation prints! Such fun. :)
    I have switched machines on many projects and haven't had a problem--just take a block finished on one machine and place the seam allowance under the needle of the second machine to see how they line up, and compensate accordingly.
