My Dahlia Try

My daughter grew dahlias for the first time this year.  They did great and she gave a lot of bouquets away to friends in the neighborhood.  My granddaughters also got into it and helped. It was a lot of fun.  

So I thought I'd try to make a dahlia  wallhanging.  Since I chose pinks I told the little girls that they could have it to hang in their room.  They always get excited about the things I quilt and they are looking forward to this.

But it does have problems.  I'll have to see if I get them worked out.

A you can see, things didn't come together in the center correctly.  I looked at it with my paper pattern and now I am redoing the center dark pink to line up with the paper.  I just rip out that small seam and line it up correctly.  We'll see if that all works out properly.
