Mine is in a hoop hanging on my sewing room wall. I made it probably 20 years ago.

Could never find the pattern when I was looking for it but would love to make one. You didn't mention finished size...could they be used for seat cushions around a table? Just a thought :-)

I haven't made one yet, although years ago I made something similar and used them to cover the big round Cookie Tins. Covered the can with fabric and the top with the folded piece. Made for really nice looking storage tins or for gifts filled with cookies or candy.
I think the dahlias may be a tad big for the tins though.

I still have a tin that I made. I will dig it out and take a pic of it so you can see what that looks like. I think the top is done stapled to a piece of poster board when making it so that it can be hot glued to the top. The sides are also glued to poster board and wrapped around the tin. I will try to remember to get pics of it tomorrow sometime.

Would love to have a copy of the pattern or name of it so I could try to find one. Thanks!
