My Mother made this for my husband and I Christmas just before our 25th wedding anniversary. She's now gone so this is special to both of us. We use it once in a while. She did it in blue and pink prints. With off white and had quilted by another lady. The sad thing is I have no date on either this quilt or her first quilt. Be sure to label all quilts, it may mnot mean anything to you but it will to someone later.

I think marti michell (sp?) has/had templates for this very complicated pattern.....I was just "cleaning" some of my templates and found sharlene jorgensen's---quilting from the heartland--templates and book of directions among my templates.....hers is for blocks of smaller ones, whereas marti's are for a giant bed size dahlia---I think..

I have made this quilt several years ago and have it on my bed right now. I used Marti Michell's pattern and if you mark the pieces the way she tells you at the 1/4 " markings it goes together very nice.
