The green is perfect for that dallias. Lovely colors.

They have been used for pillows, table toppers, one member made a tote bag from one. Wallhangings, one member put hers on top of a white bedspread on the bed and it looked fantastic. Whatever you think of.

I am now sitting in my chair with my back massager on, it hurts so good, I really must be sore. I'll pay for it tomorrow.
Mine is done in greens with a couple of reds thrown in. If it turnds out ok, I might make another one for a pillow.
I was thinking about a quilt, but I'm thinking of giving up on that idea.

Here is my tester.

Thanks! My back still hurts and I'm light headed today. I'm walking around the house holding on to everything. I've been through this before, it'll go away in a couple of days.
And NO, I will not be making a quilt out of folded dahlia's. They are not stable enough for quilts without sewing it down flat.
My son said to frame it and make a picture out of it. I told him to 'go ahead and do it'. He said, " you can do this and you can do that", or you can do it this way. Again, I told him to go ahead and do what ever he wants. lol I'm done, just wanted to see if I could do it.
