Giant Dahlia

I know you have seen those giant Dahlia panels that everyone has been free motion quilting. I have seen many lovely versions of them and wanted to try my hand at it. So I did, and then it became a quilt. Here are the pictures:


First, thes are the pictures of the day I was doing the binding on the quilt. The colors are stunning!
 The colors look pretty good here, they are fairly true to the fabrics. I am sure you recognize the Ombre Confetti Metallic from V and Co.
               The dark sashing is Kona Solid in Emerald.
             This is after washing and drying for maximum crinkle effect.
My label

All the quilting was done on my Bernina home machine. I used my walking foot for the straight lines and my BSR for everything else. Needless to say, I am pretty happy with how this came out.
Talk to you soon.

This is just gorgeous. I love this panel and have seen it used a couple of times. Love the way you kept it monochromatic. Beautiful!
