I got it on eBay from debsews.

There are some really beautiful fabrics there. When I decide what I'm going to do I may get something very subtle for a background and something for a border.

I was also thinking of embroidering a black tassel where the fan meets the triangle base and runs out of the block onto the border, like it is hanging outside the "window" of the block.

Pam - how about the silhouette of a woman and child carrying parasols or fans, standing in a flower garden? You could make a back view - hair and kimono - so you wouldn't have to worry about the faces. Border the quilt as they are walking toward or are in a garden.
