Hey if you attend our meetings in Parrotsville, you should recognize this! This started as an example in the class I taught on Bethany Reynolds' Stack-N-Whack technique. I pieced it last summer after the class and then it went into danger of being a UFO.... but its less than a year and now its quilted and finished... that means its not a UFO, right? It looks happy here on my newly painted porch steps. The fan fabric was from a bed ruffle that I inherited from my mother in law, Evelyn Buck. I hate it when beautiful things start to fall apart, and you know how bed ruffles can be eventually. I decided to do a stack and whack with it; it was a typical fifties looking floral and wow, the stack and whack just unlocked its potential and makes it look like an entirely different fabric! So kaleidoscope... I took the finished fans to the fabulous fabric shop in Baileyton, TN where I got the perfect Kona fabric pink and the nice greens to finish the quilt out. Its all machine work... perfect for the ones of us who are in a hurry!!

You'll have to get me this pattern. I was not part of the Parrottsville group when you guys did this one. Its the stack-n-whack BUT as a....FAN!!! I LOVE IT. And Sharon, your creativity has no bounds. To take what could have been considered an old outdates, even unattractive fabric and make it into something so lovely. Kudos to you!
