Design Wall Monday

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.

    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.

    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.
