    Did you try it using less fabric like I suggested? Hope the measurements I posted helped. It is absolutely gorgeous.

    Thanks,

    I think yours is really really nice, they look so good. I did one something similar - but smaller - in Christmas fabric ( please see my Avatar ) and they are very addictive !! Great !!

    Click on the link at the top of this tutorial - it goes back to tothenci's original post and includes great pictures of her fabulous Dahlias.

    And the other day candlequilter tried it using a reduced amount of fabric to cut down on the bulk. Her results are here:

    So pretty!! My Grandma had done a couple of pillows like this back in the 60's and I had completely forgotten about them until I saw yours.
    Good job!
