GIANT DAHLIA....ready done....for state fair
 

This is machine pieced and hand quilted..... sister insists its state fair time........... so I am entered we will see....

Great job on a pattern that's always in the back of my mind. Hope it's a winner!

You did a wonderful job. You deserve a ribbon

That's a pattern I've always shied away from because I thought it was too challenging. How would you rate it difficulty-wise?

Topper1,
Beautiful! The Giant Dahlia is the whole reason that I got started in quilting. I loved the one I had seen and decided that I wanted to learn to do that. I have yet to make one but seeing yours gives me hope...... I'm betting it receives high marks! Wonderful job!!

A keeper, nice job.....

very nice like the colors!!!

Very nice. You'll have to let us know how you do at the fair.

I believe that your sister is correct. Beautiful quilt. Good luck. BrendaK

My grandmother always had those dinner plate Dahlia in a vase when they were blooming. I have never tried to grow them, but DGD thinks we should try to make one of these. Blue is my favorite color.

It should get a blue ribbon

very nicely done! :thumbup:

Beautiful, & good luck at the fair. I have always wanted to make a Dahlia Quilt. You are inspiring me to get to it!
peace

Someday I want to do a Dahlia quilt -- it is onmy bucket list
