It took hours but I sewed those new pieces for a center that pops. The other sections are more yellow than they show here...but it looks more like what I wanted. I think this is one of those patterns that I will have to try again in all brights to make me happier! I was trying to capture the look of the Dahlias my Dad used to grow with this one!
I have pressed the 1/4" all around the last row of petals so that I can applique them to the background color.
Soon it will have my attention again.
It really looks like a dahlia!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of work! And well worth it - absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI dropped off the blog reading! Such a wonderful list of activities and fun!!! Can't wait to see your sweater done! I had the yarn for 20 years and nary a stitch knit. LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou've made some pretty, pretty things, but this dahlia is the best of all the beautiful.
