I'm curious, seems like dresden plate and the fan pattern are so much alike. Seems grandmother's fan never has points or circled ends, just straight ends, but dresden plate can have either points or circles? Is it still a dresden plate if it has circle ends? They all seem so much the same pattern, except for the ends of the points. Do they have to have a certain number of spokes, or can it be any number? And i saw on Shadow's URR, she has something called a wagon wheel block, and it looks just like a fan block, but less spokes. :)
