I have a grandmothers fan with authentic 30's materail for the fans ,muslin for the backing on the squares behind the fans, I used Aunt Gracies reproduction for the sashing and border, The fans and muslin were hand quilted , the sashing and border were done by machine, I did stippling ,Oh yes ,the backing was muslin too, I made the sashing and the border a little larger because the original fans were for double size bed. I won first place at the Mohave Co fair a few years ago, so does that tell you any thing? :thumbup:
