I have just finished cutting it all out and I think those 6.5" x 60" will be the borders - I cut 4, it said in the instructions. I am thinking about the "fan" reference- the mystery is called a "BIG FAN" I wonder if we will be making a fan type block... and the bias tape or ric rac will be create a stain glass effect - both techniques I havent tried before. Yes - it is exciting!!!!
