Looks like a twist on the grandmothers' fan thing -
Reminds me of those old-fashioned card-stock fans-on-sticks that churches used to hand out in the un-airconditioned facilities in the olden days ... especially at funerals (courtesy of the local mortician) and at weddings -- times when churches were packed and the air was hot and humid and people were under a lot of stress.....
I may be mis-remembering my childhood - or maybe it was just a Southern Thing ... ???

think you are mis-remembering.
I don't know what the pattern is called, but I see some of the same fabrics my Mom and Grandmothers used in quilts, that were made in the 40's and 50's.
Looks like a vintage jewel to me. :thumbup:

The fabric in the "fans" looks like 40's fabric. I would guess someone got ahold of those and then modified the pattern at some later date due to the eyelet fabric and made those blocks. Very creative.
