2 More 1930"s Dresdan Fans for Janet

She has been making these quilts with passed down Dresden Fan blocks from a family member.  
Each quilt will go to a descendant of the pieces
This block needed a little love. There was a small tear in the fabric, and because the fans are appliqued to the background, no way to get another piece of fabric under to help stabilize.  So, I pulled the edges together as best as I could, then just stitched them down.  Encircled the stitching with a freehand heart because someone they love made these quilts for them.


Each fan blade is stitched along it's edges and no further stitching on the actual fans.

The 2nd of 3, and below are some photos of the backing.  Really gives the quilting a chance to show



Feathered wreaths with curved cross hatching in the open blocks.
