Description
Graceful, intricate, and unmistakably eye-catching, this Handmade Giant Dahlia Throw Quilt transforms one of quilting’s most admired floral patterns into a striking heirloom piece. Handmade in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, this quilt showcases the Giant Dahlia design in a richly layered arrangement of purple, green, pink, cream, and floral fabrics.
The dahlia dominates the quilt’s center, set against a creamy beige print that allows the floral medallion to stand forward beautifully. Though the quilt uses only six fabrics, the thoughtful repeating and scaling of prints—from large to small—creates a balanced, comforting look. Petal-shaped pieces expand outward from the center, growing larger as the design repeats the center fabrics in a dramatic floral arrangement.
The color palette alternates shades of green and purple in printed fabrics. The green fabric has a soft textured print, while the purple fabric is a tiny floral calico. Pink rose prints and richly colored floral fabrics add warmth and depth, while the coordinating printed border anchors the design. The solid cream backing showcases the hand quilting and gives the reverse side a clean, traditional finish.
About the Giant Dahlia Pattern

The curved piecing and layered petal construction require advanced skill and careful execution, making completed Giant Dahlia quilts highly respected among collectors and quilting enthusiasts alike.
Size
Measuring 68″ x 68″, this throw-size quilt is ideal layered across a sofa, displayed as wall art, folded at the foot of a bed, or enjoyed as an heirloom accent piece. Its floral elegance and meticulous hand craftsmanship make it equally suited for everyday enjoyment and special display.
