These look like dahlias to me.  Do they to you too?  Hence the name.  And the black background?  I vaguely recall a book from my youth by the same title about a young girl sent away to a mental institution.   As I was auditioning background fabrics, the darker colors really made the dahlias pop, especially black.  And given the book background, black it stayed.  Featuring the "Least of These" border.

​

The Least of These border I designed after being inspired by the ministry of friends to the homeless.  It's named for the Biblical verse Matthew 25:40, ". . . whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me."  In quilting, a 1" square is arguably the least of all blocks.

This quilt could be adjusted to a smaller size by removing blocks.
