Wow. Love your border. Eager to see the final reveal.

After seeing the 2020 BOM, Afternoon Delight by Sue Garman, I went to her blog site(Come Quilt) and Sept. 2012 she
introduces the first look at the quilt and explains her thought process in designing it. She also shows pictures of the appliques.
It was very interesting, she was an incredible designer. Worth reading.

Thanks for the information on where we can see and find out more about the 2020 BOM. I love it but did not realize when I saw it on the Facebook reveal video that the feature blocks are hand applique. I don't enjoy hand applique. Sigh. Perhaps I can make a smaller version.

My sample quilt was made with raw edge machine appliqué, very fast. No hand work on this quilt except the binding

[Holly M.]

Ah. That explains how you made the sample quilt in three weeks! (per the FB video).

Holly,
I love raw edge appliqué in wall hangings, but in quilts I go to edge turned, machine stitched appliqué. There are many famous quilters that use this technique with
a 1.0- 1.0 zig zag stitch. Caryl Fallert Gentry has a tutorial on her website. After watching the quilt show that featured the inventor of the Appliquick tools, i use them
for turning the edge, and it works great. Raw edge appliqué is the fastest. next would be edge turned machine stitched appliqué, and slowest (but portable and meditative)
hand applique. Bet you would love the results you get with machine stitched edge turned. A lot of quilters use the blanket stitch on the edge and it looks great too.

Barbara, what size are the finished blocks???? If they are large, that would mean the applique pieces wouldn't be teeny tiny.

Thanks,

Suzanne

6.75” finished. Small.

[Helen W.]

Suzanne,
After seeing Barbara's post that the blocks are 6.75 inches, I thought, what will be the best way to do it if you want edge turned, machine stitched applique.
The first thing that came to mind was Ricky Tims Stable Stuff. Print the design on the inkjet printer, cut out on sewing line. glue stick to back of fabric, cut 1/4 inch
larger on fabric, (fussy trim the tight areas), use Apliquick tools to edge turn with glue around edge of piece. Since you can leave the stable stuff you just put it on
the background fabric and machine stitch. I sure their will be lots of ideas coming up on the forum on how quilters will approach it. HelenW

This is great info to put on the new Category Afternoon Delight. Please start a topic on How I Like to Appliqué, or start something like that so everyone who comes to the Afternoon Delight category can find it.

I will have LOTS of info on appliqué options as we go forward.

Thanks!
