Colour changes everything . . . .

Here you see the winter version - and how different it looks from both the original 'spring/summer' and autumn dahlia.

I used hand-dyed fabrics for the winter version - left over from some dyeing workshops I organised at Fabrix of Lancaster.

Added embellishments in the form of crystals for the centre. This block sparkles - not apparent on the photograph.

I am thoroughly enjoying making these extra blocks and, as I said previously, you can see how I created them by viewing my step-by-step pictorial instructions on (www.popularpatchwork.com) website. Go on - have a peek!
