Giant Dahlia
                  In fall 2014, I was fortunate enough to take a Giant Dahlia class from Suzzy Payne, a well known quilting teacher in my area.  The petals of the dahlia are made from just two ombre fabrics and are fussy cut along the lengthwise grain.  I machine quilted the dahlia in a radiant pattern using various colors of thread.
