I started my quilt for the red and white challenge hosted by SewCalGal. . I've been wanting to make a giant dahlia for a long time. I was fortunate to find the Marti Michell templates on a cast off table as they are quite expensive. They are well made and the pieces are fitting together perfectly. I so rarely use red in my quilts I had to buy fabric for this project. I'm not sure why I feel compelled to make a red and white quilt. There are other projects I should be working on but this one was speaking to me.

It is coming along very nicely! Sometimes you just have to 'quilt your heart'! Cant wait to see this progress...
Lovely! I love red and white quilts, but haven't taken time to make one. This one is great. I love MM templates, but have never tried the Giant Dahlia. I look forward to seeing progress pictures.
This is so pretty....never thought I'd make a dahlia quilt, but you may have just convinced me otherwise. Love the red and white!

Very pretty! I love the red and white, and that dahlia is nice but quite complicated looking. Good luck!
Ooh, I have always admired those giant dahlia quilts but I know I don't have the skill level yet to execute that pattern. Yours is lovely in red and white.
I can see why this quilt is speaking to you. It's beautiful! The dahlia pattern is great for red and white.

I am currently making a red and white quilt with the HST BOM. And I've always wanted to make a red and white quilt! Your dahlia is absolutely gorgeous! Keep up the good work!
