Your idea will work just fine. I did machine appliqué of the small handle as it was the fastest method that gave me the result I wanted.

11 done! Slow, very slow, but steady. I thought I could get 2 done an evening while watching TV, but that isn't happening. I am very slow hand stitcher. I am not much for the scrappy look, and these blocks are the ultimate scrappy. They do look better with the crescents on them. This is a really stretching my comfort zone.
I have made 21 fan blade units and cut more. That is taking a lot of time. I thought I would sew the to the background fabrics like we did in month 1. But I also am considering cutting the background as a square, Then sewing the squares together to make a rectangle of 2 different prints. Then appliqueing the fan unit on the by machine. It will go faster and be less puckered. What do you think?

I am having so much fun with the fabrics in this quilt. Going random “mostly” from my stash. I had intended to use each fabric only once…but think I am running out of different fabrics. My goal is to finish the remaining 8 block 1’s before the new block comes out next week.

Elizabeth, I am having trouble understanding your problem. This photo shows where the grain lines on my blocks are.
There is no way I know of that you can have a straight of grain on a curve cut. That makes it a bias. My photo is for
turned edge applique on the template plastic. So I cut the seam allowance beyond the edge of the curve. If you are
using the templates, and you mark both your sewing line, and seam allowance line for cutting it out, and put some reference dots
or marks on both the fan and the background, you should be able to sew on the line. By hand it is easy to see that the
needle is going thru both sew lines. By machine I find using a glue stick to get it in position first helps a lot. Show a
picture of the whole fan block you are talking about, maybe it will be easier to see what you are asking. HelenW

Thanks Helen for those very useful tips. I like the idea of appliquéing for the preferred method for the fans and curved bottom section. They look lovely and neat.

Thanks Helen. I am concerned about the inner arch I cut… if I didn’t cut on perfect grain it will be too large. I was able to tweak the seam … who will know if it’s not a perfect arch?

Originally posted by LizAnderson View PostI’m adding another question and want to know if others ran into this… I cut out my outside pieces and was afraid I was a little off grain.

I have sewed another one..but now I’m wondering if I should cut a rectangle and attach to that for better accuracy?
room. I made a template plastic template of the 2 border sections, I use double
stick tape to tape it to back side of fabric. Cut about a 3/8 inch seam allowance
then use a few dots of glue in the seam allowance to turn the seam over the
plastic. I also made some cuts on the concave shape before turning. Then
I applique it to the double fan. Nice and flat and I like the way it looks. HelenW

I started the outside arches. I cut my background pieces 6 1/2 by 8 1/2 so I have more to hold onto when doing the quilting. They can be trimmed down later. For mine, i decided to turn the edges under and straight stitch to attach to the rectangles.
