These are so beautiful.. The ones with the slight color variation like in a rainbow are just terrific. I love the oranges in this one and thereen looks like leafs. Very well done. Mary

Lori, your Folded Dahlia is beaut. For mine in the pix I added a 2 1/2" border to ea. section making sure to leave a long enough tail on ea. one to overlap the next. Especially the last one. Then I added thin batting, a backing & binding just like a quilt. Others may have other ideas but that's all I could come up with for mine so far.
Sev. people have given sev. suggestions for other uses.
