My "Dresden Dahlias" quilt with the border on and the binding done.
Trying to find a spot with a little color blooming outside to take these photos.
Had fun making this....now time to move on to something new!

New project for the Flower Power challenge in our guild....
Our guild challenge this year is "Flower Power".....any quilted item with a flower theme.
I had been working on Dresden plate blocks for awhile, when I decided they looked like flowers if you added an extra row of "petals", so I call this "Dresden Dahlias". I have decided it needs a border, so I am currently looking for something that would look right for a border.
I wanted to pose it with some flowers, so I went ahead and took some photos even though it isn't finished yet. Will post again when I finish it :-) You can't see in this photo but I have done a lot of embroidery on the petals. I seem to turn everything into a crazy quilt any more.
You can see a bit of the stitching in this close shot of the orange flower. I'm still working on the corner green fans.
I really like making these and have a lot of left-over pieces that will probably end up as Christmas presents.....runners, pillows, small table toppers?
