The block is called 'Lethas Electric Fan'but it reminds me of carousels and fairy floss from my youth. I hand pieces blocks but with good machine skills, you may choose this method. I added the borders by machine.
The Georgetown Block has always been a love of Jen's, so this is her take on a classic. Clever fussy cutting brings this quilt to life, and it looks equally fantastic with a darker background. This pattern is written for hand piecing and applique (method of your choosing).
One of Jen's favourites - Made of 2 alternating blocks with a small sashing' strip forming a lattice through the quilt. A great project for showcasing all your favourite fabric and you can make it any size. This pattern is written for hand piecing
