It has been easy to keep up with the project so far, as I am also stitching the Daily Joyful Embellishments on Facebook with Valerie Bothell.

After seeing a beautiful fan quilt on CQMagOnline, I was inspired to start one. I adapted Allie Aller's Curved Appliqué pattern from her Craftsy class to make the fan blades a bit longer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have so much of this silk that this project will hardly put a dent in my stash!</span><br />
