That is fantastic. Your heart shaped button adds to it.

The is a new pattern to me, had not heard of it before.

Thanks for posting the source - will have to look for the tutorial, because your project looks intriguing.

There was quite a good tutorial on QB by dungeonquilter back in 2011.

Gorgeous!!! It turned out quite lovely! And I'm glad you were able to post the pics!

Here's a link to the tute by dungeonquilter for those interested.

Beautiful job!!!!

nice job, thanks for sharing. I need a little more experience for this one.

Looks beautiful! Thanks for the links.

That looks like the same pattern I used in these Christmas toppers. I love it but it is definitely a lot of work.

Very nice. Good job.

Beautiful!!

made one but being a house with dogs and cats, my pillows, couch throws get laundered and I was wondering how the dahlia fairs after the washing machine? have not put it out yet-sorta afraid.

Wow! Thanks for the link. Just reading the directions and following along with the pictures made my brain itch. That is one awesome tutorial! Your dahlia is beautiful!

One of these days I gotta try this. Like how yours turned out.

It's great.

I totally fell in love with these pcs. when "dungeonquilter" first put her tute on here & of course I went crazy making them. Now I have stacks of them & am wondering what to do with them. Yes, I want to make more. I am so pathetic.

What an absolutely amazing bag. Gorgeous.

I just loved her tutorial!!

I have had four of these Folded Dahlias in my bathroom for at least ten years. There is one Somerset Patchwork and one large quilted cheater block, also. They are all mounted into 9 to 14 inch embroidery hoops. There is a piece of lace and a short ruffle around each one and some have a bow.

I bought all of these at rummage sales! Apparently there was a fad, maybe 20 or more years ago where everyone was making them. Must have been before I was into crafting, or I would have been making them, too. LOL

The strange thing about all this, is that they are all the same color family: brown, tan, orange, rust etc. Some even have the same fabrics. They all go together nicely in my gold and white bathroom. And they were accumulated over the course of several years at different rummage sales.

Looks great...
