Giant Dahlia Quilt - Problem
Good Evening All,
This is my first post! I’ve been searching the internet for help and have arrived here!!
I’m working on the “Quick and Easy Giant Dahlia Quilt” by Susan Murwin and Suzzy Payne. I bought the pattern book second hand a couple of years ago and have slowly been working my way through it.
I have however become stuck… the main Dahlia is pieced and I’ve set that in it’s square - everything lined up OK. Then I pieced the borders. But when I went to attach them they are far too long!! I’ve used the same seam allowances throughout.
Has anyone else made this particular pattern? Did you have issues too?
Best wishes, happy sewing
Matt

I think I’ve made a decision to sew a seam in the centre of the black boomerang pieces (thanks for the suggestion Gay)

Following this thread closely. I have this pattern and used it several years ago. I pieced the pattern, and it became the skirt to a square dance dress Now that I'm not dancing anymore, I plan to turn it into a quilt. I really like that border and look forward to seeing how you solved this problem
