Here is one of the recent project my quilting Group here in spain have been doing

The idea is for a Group of 4 to get together, choose a theme and then the fan blades are given out to each other. For instance I kept 2 fan blades and gave one each to 3 ladies, each of them gave me one blad each, clear as mud??? anyway here is the results of our efforts The two fan blades that I kept are then made up in fabrics to blend with the other three blades and they turned out quite beautiful

These are interesting. Are they on a frame of somekind? They would make nice wall decoration.

They're beautiful! I'm going to mention this to my quilting groups to see if we want to do this. I love new projects that are other than traditional quilting.

We each had to come up with an idea of how to put them together.

I bought a fan and dismantled it and used these pieces to put mine together like a real fan. Others just sewed them together it really was up to the individual.
