seventeen yards is a lot of fabric. I probably would have had a stroke.
So, dahlia quilt, will eventually get center stage again. I'm not brave enough to try one of those yet, but I have some yummy colors in mind, if/when, I do. thanks for letting us know, Pam. :D
It really wasn't too hard to do with the Marti Michel templates. They were pricey but I think worth it. I especially like that there are little holes along the edges to make a mark for aligning the pieces. Take two pieces, align and pin the two edges, then stick a pin through the dot on each fabric to line them up. When sewing the long curved sections together you just align the seams and the dots along that edge. The curve is very slight so it's not as hard as doing circles.
