Cathe: Your dahlia is gorgeous. I sure don't see any problems there. My one stumbling block seems to be quilting patterns. I am still very inexperienced in selecting the right pattern to really enhance my quilt design. :D :D :D

That is amazing. I love this. I sure don't see any problems there either. It looks perfect to me!!!

:D The giant Dahlia. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I love your choice of colars, it really gives demention to the quilt. Where can I get the pattern for it? I would love to make one myself.

I have downloaded the giant dahlia but can't find out where it has gone !!! Have tried to print the picture of it but it won't print it.... what a shame..... where did you get the pattern from please? Would love to have a go at making it...

I found a pattern in a couple old 1980's Quilt magazines, and it seems to work ok (with a little adjustment). And it's pretty much identical to the one in a book I just bought: Quick and Easy Giant Dahlia Quilt on the Sewing Machine by Susan Aylsworth Murwin and Suzzy Chalfant Payne. I did not assemble it according to the directions in that book -I sewed it in quarters, then in halves and then together. If you do a google search for "giant dahlia quilt pattern", you will find a few different patterns.

Here is the site for the dahlia... it says somewhere along the line that the site has shifted but if you wait for a few seconds up comes the pattern to print off.... it is the dahlia plus the edging.... the whole quilt.... all 10 pages of it.....
