Thanks for the link. I was thinking earlier about a pattern that had the little end of the fan instead of the traditional 1/4 circle and there is one there. I like the idea of the solid fan to show the fabric but I think it would be cool to actually take that solid and cut it into the fan wedges, sew them back together so that the fabric pattern is interrupted at each wedge like an actual fan might be when it is opened.

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.
