Did you try it using less fabric like I suggested? Hope the measurements I posted helped. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks,

I think yours is really really nice, they look so good. I did one something similar - but smaller - in Christmas fabric ( please see my Avatar ) and they are very addictive !! Great !!

The technique was first brought to this board by tothenci. Her source tutorial, however, was in Hungarian.

dungeonquilter then went ahead and wrote a detailed version (with fabulous pictures) in English as she made her first Dahlia.

Click on the link at the top of this tutorial - it goes back to tothenci's original post and includes great pictures of her fabulous Dahlias.

And the other day candlequilter tried it using a reduced amount of fabric to cut down on the bulk. Her results are here:

Those are lovely, and thanks for doing all my practicing for me :lol: I'm going to try one now that the kinks have been worked out.

So pretty!! My Grandma had done a couple of pillows like this back in the 60's and I had completely forgotten about them until I saw yours.
Good job!
