I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

6 done, 14 to go.
My month 2 method:- Cut crescents about ½” wider on the outside edge and just outside of the marked edge on the curve.
- With a template cut to the seam line, iron the seam allowance under the curved part of the crescent.
- Make 9 patch sections according to Barbara’s blog.
- Using the templates, mark the placement of the crescent on the 9 patch using disappearing ink marker or chalk.
- Using Roxanne’s glue baste or a glue stick (I found the glue stick didn’t hold as well.) Dab just below the placement line. Position the crescent on the 9 patch.
- Turn the block over and trim to the crescent line.
- Opening out the seam allowance, hold the forward part up as you sew along the ironed crease. Use your finger to make sure both parts are flat ahead of where you are sewing. Hit the dots at the beginning and end of the curve.
- Trim to 8 1/2" square

Barbara… getting ready to trim the bottom of this block. Am I correct it is 4.25” tall. I don’t want to make a mistake and have to ‘ fix it’. Or.. should I wait and trim after the outside piece is attached. Thanks
in reviewing my picture I should have written 41/4 not 41/2Elizabeth Anderson

I tried encircling the centre with the proposed block but it didn't look right. . . .I think I'll save it for the outer border. This block seem to give the quilt a more African look. I believe this block is the one used for the embroidery block, so I'm going to have to give this a lot of thought on what to do next. This baby certainly has a mind of its own.

I’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. As you can see one side when I pressed..I had some extra ,but this made the outside piece lie flat. I have sewed another one..but now I’m wondering if I should cut a rectangle and attach to that for better accuracy?Elizabeth Anderson

Not sure I understand the question. If this is a double fan, it should measure 4.5" x 8,5" with seam allowances. If it does, you're fine. Once the rectangles are sewn to each other they will be "mostly" on grain and that's good enough for most of us.

I was worried that my curves were not matching perfectly. I reworked the ends… who will know unless I say something,,!
