Some Dahlia Fun!

Quilt Assistant is a marvellous free resource for quilters interested in designing or even experimenting with various colour options for their quilt blocks.

I wanted to share with you the fun I had with the Dahlia Block, when designing it for the Dreamcatcher Round the Year Block of the Month Quilt!

5 Shades of Grey and a Rainbow Dahlia
Duet – The dahlia block in two colours
When the dahlia became the eight-petalled lotus!
The Ribbon Dahlia – a design idea from shape-moth.blogspot.com


Aren’t they pretty?  You can always pencil in your own colours on the DAHLIA MASTER TEMPLATE available with the pattern for the Dahlia Block! Use this as a guideline to piece a Dahlia designed by you.
By the way, this is the link if you want to make Shape Moth’s  20″ `ribbon’ dahlia block.
