The design was good, the piecing was no problem.

I can also honestly say at this time last year I had just completed this project in the late night hours before the publisher deadline and truly thought it may be one of my biggest oops! Make no mistake, I love how my project turned out and I really love the book. I have been dragging my heels on this post because there is so much more behind what started out to be just a simple little baby quilt. I know, I know.not my usual color-palette, and it's even flannel! Sometimes you have to go outside your box and learn something new and boy, did I ever have learning opportunities on this one!ДЄt first, I thought I would just share this project with you like any other, add some pretty pictures, some commentary, etc. The scrappy binding is also from Bluebird.ДЄs for the three magenta petals, there is no deep meaning, just that they remind me of the random beauty of nature and how occasionally a few petals don't get the memo and decide to do their own thing! The amazing quilting on this was done by was such a joy to even stitch on the binding and enjoy the beautiful detail of the quilting. Most of the fabric for the applique petals are from CottonВ + Steel's Bluebird Collection. The petals are appliqued on individual squares so you can prep them and take them with you in smaller project pieces. The multi-directional print of the background fabric (which is Modern Background Paper collection by Zen Chic for Moda) allows it to be divided up and when pieced back together, the block lines blend right in. It may look like it's all one big applique, but it's actually not. While this is an applique project, I designed it specifically to be a to-go project. Be sure to look for it at your favorite local quilt shop. I am so excited to have the opportunity to share the pages with these wonderful designers.

(There's also a film noir movie from 1946 called The Blue DahliaВ starring Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd,В but the plot is kind of creepy and that's not where I drew my inspiration!) They come in so many varieties, shapes and colors, it's hard to pick a favorite. 8, Photo courtesy of QuiltmaniaДahlias grow better than dandelions here in the Pacific Northwest, so you can probably see where the inspiration for this project came from.
