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?
