Grandmother's Fan


I wanted to include a grandmother's fan block but could not find a pattern online in an 8" finished block size.  So, I got out my Dresden template and played around a bit...


The block is way dark on the bottom edge because that's the shadow of my arm... so difficult taking photos at night...

    This is one of my favorite blocks. I know what you mean about taking pictures at night. You are getting close to having all your blocks done and they are looking good.

    That is a good one to incorporate in the CW quilt. Looks good in browns, makes it more CW.
