This is what I have been working on this week. The fan block started with some cut pieces a friend gave me. I added the white and I really like how the fan stands out.
Then there is the appliquéd flower top that is ready to be quilted. The block itself is 12 inches square with the top measuring about 22 inches. I guess I am in a spring mode with all of the pinks, greens, and purples I have been working with lately.
I did these by hand and must be honest and say that this is my first fan block. I have avoided fans in the past because of the difficulty (for me) to machine stitch, but I found that it was easily done by hand. I plan to use the block in a greeting card holder wall hanging. The flower will be a square table topper that can be hung if desired.
I have not been doing well this week so I have been very slow and am very behind-so no memory quilt posting-my apologies.
Happy Gardening in all of your sewing endeavors!
