Dahlia, thought it would take a year

I hadn't made a quilt in 5 years and tackled this one, thinking it would take FOREVER. Took me 2 weeks using only scraps. It is going into a judging quilt show in the near future. The book is wonderful and instructions are simple to follow. Don't hesitate, make this quilt.

The Quick and Easy Giant Dahlia Quilt on the Sewing Machine

I purchased this book a few weeks back. I was afraid to try the Giant Dahlia Quilt because of all of the negative things I had heard. I have made 2 of the Giant Dahlias this week and They were so easy. The instructions are super, The best I have seen any place. My quilts assembled great. I would recommend this book to anyone who, like me are afraid to tackle such a project. These ladies did a great job, with written instructions and pictures that show you just how to do it. Helen
