I recommend this to practice paper piecing: http://www.quilterscache.com/StartQu...tingthree.html

It is simple and easy to understand.

Thanks Agape........i've done paper piecing before and i can do it without problems but this block is not making sense to me. When i line up the blocks side by side, the end blade on one of the blocks is straight up and down but the adjoining block is a curved blade. It dont make sense no matter what i do.

If you used that pattern, your fan should be squared off.
