I have had four of these Folded Dahlias in my bathroom for at least ten years. There is one Somerset Patchwork and one large quilted cheater block, also. They are all mounted into 9 to 14 inch embroidery hoops. There is a piece of lace and a short ruffle around each one and some have a bow.

I bought all of these at rummage sales! Apparently there was a fad, maybe 20 or more years ago where everyone was making them. Must have been before I was into crafting, or I would have been making them, too. LOL

The strange thing about all this, is that they are all the same color family: brown, tan, orange, rust etc. Some even have the same fabrics. They all go together nicely in my gold and white bathroom. And they were accumulated over the course of several years at different rummage sales.
