Is there another way? Giant Dahlia Quilt
I purchased the same book as she did:

a few years ago when I started quilting. I love the pattern and thought I may be able to make it "one day when I know how to quilt". I was cleaning out my sewing cupboard and found it last night.
It looks just as hard to me. It has curves, off-set seams, and set in pieces. I really think it is above my skill level. Maybe it is just because I have a hard time understanding the instructions in the book. There are not many pictures in the explanations.
Is there a similar pattern that is easier to sew or at least understand for intermediate skilled quilter? It doesn't have to be a dahlia but I would like a big flower looking quilt and most that I've searched for seem to follow this same pattern. I was going to make the 47" square size.
I've considered a star but would prefer a flower, but is there an easier way to get that look?
Adding, I don't mind if something is hard, or takes a long time, as long as I get the desired look. You should see how long it took me to learn to knit...
