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.
Acrylic templates are a must when creating the Giant Dahlia quilt. These templates help cut out the curved shapes accurately and ensure that each piece fits together properly. However, it’s not just about cutting the pieces; the real challenge is in the piecing process. The curves must be sewn smoothly, and the points of the petals need to match up exactly, which can be tricky, especially as the quilt grows larger and more complex.
Measurements:
King (112″ W x 113″ L)
A regular king mattress is 76″ wide and 80″ long, therefore this quilt would have an 18″ drop on each side.
A California king mattress is 72″ wide and 84″ long, therefore this quilt would have a 20″ drop on each side.
All quilts are long enough to allow for a significant drop at the foot of the bed as well as a nice pillow tuck so there is no need for shams.
