Experimenting with the Dahlia Fan Tutorial

I am so inspired by Juliet's Dahlia Fan Tutorial! I have many things I'd like to try with this technique.  Over the weekend I experimented using scallop-edged circles to create the 'petals.'
I thought it would take 10 petals to complete the circle, but I think that was too many.  So I glued a petal - north, south, east, and west - in the middle of my larger scalloped circle.  Then I glued a petal in between each of those petals.  So I used a total of 8 petals to complete this design.   I think if I had not used the scalloped circles, 10 petals would have fit.  Anyway, this was just an experiment. One of many to come!

    How fun, to use scalloped circles! I think you are right, that 10 would have fit together snugly. I will have to link to this.

    I do not do much craft work anymore I did enjoy creating things when my eyes were better. I enjoy seeing what others can do. This is a very pretty piece of work.
