Thank you so much for your thoughts. I think you are right. I think the dahlia won't show enough of the pattern. I knew there was a reason I could not bring my self to cut it yet! Now I'll have to find a pattern for something that would be better suited to this fabric. I'm open to suggestions. Anyone? Anyone?
Oh, and I bought it on Ebay. I don't think it was an online quilt shop. I think it was just an individual.
