This is my first picture post! I have been admiring the beautiful folded dahlias that have been posted, but was afraid to try one. I found a pattern for a folded star that looked a bit easier (I am a beginner!). It was a lot of fun, so my next step is the dahlia! Keep your fingers crossed!

Very nice. I love the colors.

Nice!

That is beautiful!!
How smart of you!!!
I have also been looking at all the Dahlias and feeling very intimidated---will have to find this folded star and give it a try!!
Thank you for the inspiration!!!

very pretty and nice colors

good job!!

Love it!

Great job!

I like it! Where did you find that pattern?

What a beautiful trivit! Now I want to make one!

Watch out, I think they are addictive they are so fun. Your colors are neat

I found the tute! It's here:

Very pretty, I want to make one!

I love your trivet - I want to make one of these - I think it would sell at a craft show - Thanks for sharing..

very pretty!

Thank you for all your encouraging words! I got the pattern from my LQS and it is copyrighted or I would send it out. The tute listed in a posting above gives the directions, though! When y'all make one, please post pics so I can get some more ideas for color choices!

Great, it looks like my avatar

Great job! I also would like to try this technique but am a little intimidated....a star for me too! Thanks for the inspiration!

I so love these and yet so intimidating to me!!! Great job!

It is actually very easy to do. It just looks difficult. Give it a try

Very pretty. Great job.
