Description

The dahlia dominates the quilt’s center, set against a delicate red floral print on white. A bold rose print borders the quilt, anchoring the design. Though it uses only four fabrics, the repeating and scaling of prints— from large to small— creates a balanced, elegant look. The pattern alternates black polka dots and red fabric with tiny stars, establishing the color scheme. Petal-shaped pieces form a dahlia as the design expands outward, with petals growing larger and repeating the center fabrics.

About This Pattern:

The Giant Dahlia pattern is a stunning quilt design that first appeared in the 1935 issue of Needlecraft: The Home Arts Magazine. With its intricate arrangement of curved edges and sharp points, it quickly became a classic—and not just because of its beauty, but due to its technical challenges as well.

This quilt isn’t for the faint of heart—it requires a meticulous approach, precise cutting, and an advanced understanding of quilting techniques. But the reward is a visually stunning piece that’s both dynamic and elegant, with bold curves and geometric patterns that evoke the vibrant, layered petals of a dahlia flower. It’s the kind of quilt that challenges a quilter’s skills while also giving them the chance to create something truly breathtaking.

The pattern features large, overlapping flower petals arranged in a way that mimics the look of a dahlia flower, with each petal-like shape requiring careful precision. The curved edges make the quilt especially tricky, even for seasoned quilters, because getting them to lay flat while ensuring the points of each petal align perfectly demands a high level of skill and patience.
