This is the tute for the fan mug rug.
Finished result
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279504[/ATTACH]
Start with wedges. These are 9 Degree, but any will work
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279505[/ATTACH]
Fold the top in half and sew across.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279506[/ATTACH]
Turn them inside out and iron. Make sure the seam is in the middle.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279507[/ATTACH]
I opened my seams inside of the point.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279508[/ATTACH]
Obviously wrong for example only.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279509[/ATTACH]
Sew together matching the points.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279512[/ATTACH]
Sew the pairs into foursies. I open my seams.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279513[/ATTACH]
Finally fours in to eights. There ate two fans here.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279516[/ATTACH]
Then I used my circle cutter to determine the circle I needed was 8 inches. then cut the circle into fourths.

You can do your curved seam in one of two ways. This is easeing it in.

Resulting in this.

OR... you can face your 1/4 circle with a light fabric and turn it.

Sewing the 1/4 circle to the facing.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279524[/ATTACH]
Clip the curve and turn.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279525[/ATTACH]
Top stitch the 1/4 circle to the bottom of the fan.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279526[/ATTACH]
Resulting in this.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279527[/ATTACH]
Cut your back and batting. I turned the curved edge of the back over the top of the batting then pinned it to the fan just below the valleys of the points.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279528[/ATTACH]
Here you can see the points above the backing and batting.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279529[/ATTACH]
Choose your quilting pattern and quilt as desired.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]279533[/ATTACH]
The point side is finished and you only have to bind the two straight sides turning the ends under on the points. Enjoy!!!
