I have the templates, downloaded them online for free. I don't remember where as it's been sometime ago. I think Shar's templates would be much better.

There are several quilters posting their Cleopatra Fan blocks on the web in modern fabrics but I saw a vintage quilt in original '30's feedback fabric. When I was looking for more info on the pattern I found this. http://qisforquilter.com/2013/04/lau...wer-of-spring/ No templates but interesting.

Acrylic templates are $40...I'm going to try with free shapes on Robert Kaufman pattern. I love the look of the quilt in today's fabrics.

That is a bit different...and hand pieced....original one, anyway......thank heavens for sewing machines!

I hesitated in buying that set of templates because of the price too, but then thought of how much I am paying for fabric these days....don't want to be frustrated in trying to make templates from freebie....then have it not right and ruin "good" fabric...so I talked myself into it.......I do that a lot!

Very interesting .. Thanks for sharing
