Quilting - Fans and Dresden Plates

Fan patterns, sometimes called Grandmother's Fan, have been popular since the late 1800's and are still popular today. Why? Partly because the pattern is so versatile. Size of the block, number of blades in the fan, points or curved blades, setting of the blocks all may be variable. Also, four fan blocks can be sewn together to create the pattern called Dresden Plate, a circular design often seen in the 1920's and 1930's. It was based on a decorative china plate design.

In our updated version, we will be able to make these designs in a variety of settings using two different sizes for the blocks. One will be good for a smaller quilt or project; the other will work well for a full sized quilt. Both may be made into a Fan or Dresden Plate block. The number of blocks made will determine the size of the project - pillow, table runner, throw or full quilt. Fans will need six different fabrics, or two or three alternating fabrics, or many fabrics for a "scrappy" look for blades, plus fabrics for corners and background. Prints, solids - most fabrics wil work.

Amount of fabric needed and quilting supplies will be discussed in the first class. There is no need to bring anything to the first class, although if you have fabric you wish to use we can discuss it.
