The inspiration for this square was the beautiful repeating petals of the Dahlia flower. This square may be used by itself or in conjunction with other squares or stitches to make throws, bags, table runners, pillows and more. It is worked in worsted weight yarn and is a generous 12" so that projects work up quickly. The center and flower portion are based on the popular African flower look and then it is surrounded with lacy stitching for interest!
