This was for a swap that the Philly Modern Quilt Guild did at the Fall Retreat. The challenge was for everyone to take a traditional block and 'make it modern'.
The pattern is Dahlia by April Rosenthal. And I was be honest, it's not for beginners. It uses templates, or she sells acrylic templates. There is a lot of hand prep before piecing. I was already working on a number of these for myself so I had a bit of practice before doing this one!
The back shows the quilting which I am most proud of! I basically followed the curves of the front and extended them off the quilt and it made this awesome pattern.
We did our swap at the retreat by pulling numbers from a hat and Nicole got my quilt. I'll take some pictures and post the amazing mini that I relieved later!

Yes, that quilting is awesome! And, it's a great photo, but it doesn't even do it justice!
