I am not exactly sure how I am gonna finish it off just yet. What I really want is to make it a wall hanging so I may mount it to a frame somehow.

Here's a link to a site that shows how one was squared up & then used in a couple of ways...

I woul like to know how to finish off this type of block or quilt?
Awesome colors.

Thanks for the site. Now I can see what to do next.

peabee 04-22-2011 04:10 AM

wow! awesome block!

moreland 04-22-2011 04:16 AM

Looks good--It is interesting to see this pattern emerging again. I made several years ago--probably in the 60's. Then we were "crafting" now we are "quilting". Thanks for sharing.

Zephyr 04-22-2011 04:39 AM

I planted a Dahlia in my backyard as I'm not sure I'm ready to make such a pretty block as yours.

Scakes 04-22-2011 04:40 AM

Very pretty! :thumbup:

Jeanne Fauss 04-22-2011 04:48 AM

I learned to do this many years ago, and it was a potholder.
My sister recently made a quilt out of the square. I noticed this is an octagon. Interesting.

Drew 04-22-2011 04:49 AM

What a beautiful Dahlia!! Haven't had the nerve to try one yet! Thanks for sharing.

Right on.

sherriequilts 04-22-2011 05:33 AM

Looks great and if the white threads bother you too much try using a permanent marker the same color. Works great for me!

perry 04-22-2011 05:39 AM

That is pretty, I did one in yellow.

Kutnso 04-22-2011 05:40 AM

Very nice work---at first glance, it looks to me like the inside of an asparagus spear. Yummy !!!
Happy folding, Kutnso

that looks awesome! Love it - looks so real

Bernie942 04-22-2011 06:46 AM

What's the center like? Is it too bulky to hand quilt? would love to do one of these but I'm afraid that once it's done I won't be able to use it in a quilt.

macygma 04-22-2011 06:55 AM

that is just wonderful love the color

Lady Jane 04-22-2011 07:18 AM
