Grandma's Fan Quilt Pattern
 
I recently viewed a picture of a five blade fan quilt made from old handkerchiefs. The points of the fan blade are the corners from the hankies so they already have a finished edge on them. Does anyone have a pattern I could use to make this quilt? Thanks for your help.

I don't have a pattern, but since you are using old handkerchiefs, couldn't you just use a Dresden Ruler and make the blades the length you want them to be? You can get the dresden ruler at Joann's. Hope this helps.

Where did you see the picture? I would be interested in taking a look at that. Ann

Thank you for letting me know about the Dresden Ruler. I had tried my quilt shop and they did not carry it. I will check out JoAnn's. If you Google Kay'z Quiltz: My Quilt for the Blogger's Quilt Festival-A Handkerchief Grandmother's Fan you should be able to find the pictures. Thanks for the info.

Any Suggestions?
 
Any suggestions on a handerchief fan quilt using only white hankies for the blades? My sister has hankies from her Great Aunt that were all in while. We are trying to think of a way to use them in a quilt.

I bought the dresden ruler and it has instructions so I think I am ready! Thank you for your responses.
