Almost finished with the center dahlia of my newest quilt. The paper I used for piecing is still in place on the back, but when removed the lines will be less jagged and flow smoothly. I pulled a couple of pieces off just to be sure! I still have decided if the center will stay black - I think it will. There is black fabric behind the block right now, but the center is still open. In my first draft the block had color in the center, but I think I may leave it open for quilting.
I'm pretty happy with how this has turned out! I love the gradation of blues. This is just a small piece of a much larger quilt. Once I finish the center - it's onto loads and LOADS of paper piecing. :)
I made a short video explaining how I pieced this for anyone interested in that sort of thing. :)
Linking up with Nina for Off the Wall Friday!
