I fell in love with the Folded Dahlias that somebody introduced us to awhile back. Now I've made sev. since I always get carried away when I find something new that I love. My puzzle now is what to do with them. One I added a wider border to.
A cpl. more I added narrow borders to. I had thought of putting 3 of them into a wallhanging but cancelled that idea.
What have you all done with yours?

You did a great job, how about making them into pillows to sell or for gifts?

They are just gorgeous!! Sell them if your not wanting them. I use things like that for table toppers or placemats.good christmas gifts. That's not that far away. Good Luck whatever you do. Mary

I love them as table toppers but they are so dimensional (puffy) it's hard to set things on them. I love making them & really love watching them come together.

I was wondering if you make your squares bigger as they go outward? The ornaments I made had 3 or 4 rows and the squares were all the same size. Thanks for any reply Mary

Mary, that's a great idea. I might play around with that idea just for fun.
What ornaments did you make? I've seen the round ones on styrofoam balls.

Very pretty

I made a pillow and a potholder, maybe in the eighties. Gave them for gifts.
I forgot how to make them.

Good luck on whatever you do with them.
