It is paper pieced. The maker of this block, Brenda Groelz, has PP books on Amazon.

I dug out my copy of that issue just to see how it was made. Yes, paper pieced and the trick is to start each of the eight pieced wedges from the opposite end so the seams nest when you put them all together. Pretty smart idea. Directions (and yardage) are for both a 6" and a 9" block and it's rated as intermediate (skill level).

I thought it was paper pieced also (the middle section).

Oh, Ghost, and I thought I was bad about hanging on to old quilting mags. You got me beat! Darn, no laughy face here.

Tartan, this is exactly what I saw when I looked at this darling house block. :)

It's issue 245.

I couldn't find Franny's fan. Could you send me a link to it? Thanks!

There's one left on Amazon. I took the one with the damaged cover and left one of you the pristine copy. :0)
