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 !!

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!
