My grandmother marked quilts in the fan pattern using a pencil and a string. This brings back memories.

I've been thinking about doing a quilt with the Baptist fan quilting. It's funny that every time I need help I don't have to ask, it's right here on the board already!

Thanks, this is the information/help I was needing. I quilt because I love it too not for competitions.

This is one of my favorite quilting designs too.....my Grandmother used it to. We use our Circle Lord boards to do the fans now...I love it on log cabin quilts.
