The pattern is in the book by Fons and Porter "Quick Quilts from the Heart." The pattern starts on page 14. My quilt looks different from the quilt in the book because I didn't use two colors on each fan blade and I used the french braided border. I hope this will help you understand. Good luck. I am hand quilting another Quilt like this but this time I will use the same border that is on the quilt in the book.

You have the right book. I see the one that you are talking about. The one I made is on page 14. I did not make it with fabric like the one shown. It take two different fabrics for each blade. I used the small end of the tie. I cut it off and put the pattern template-A on page 17 on the tie and used the rotary cutter to cut around it. It take six ties for each square. I hope this helps you understand a little bit more. If you need any more help I am here.

I'm a housekeeper and asked all my clients to go through there ties and any they were ready to get ride of to give to me. I work for people all over the world so my assortment is wonderful.
