Has anyone evre done Cleopatra's Fan?

If I were to do this, I think I would buy this template system. I watched the video and it seems quite comprehensive.
It works out to about $64.00 Canadian with shipping from Poland, so maybe $50.00 US?

Or take your pattern and have the templates cut for you???
Guaranteed you'd have yourself in "business" quicker and at a much lower cost.
Oh what a challenge, but the results would be SO rewarding!
So many options too, as to how to tackle it!

I have the die for the Cleopatra's Fan block. Every piece fits perfectly. I had the Shar Jorgenson's acrylic templates and cut out pieces for a few blocks and gave up, too tedious. I messed up cutting many of the pieces using the templates no matter how careful I was. I made a throw pillow from them and said no way, until Accuquilt had the Go die for it. A few of my friends swap dies this one has been a hit.

The only reason I kept the Accuquilt I received for my birthday is curved piecing, and the Cleopatra’s fan Die is one I plan on purchasing. I had tried to use the free Robert Kaufman templates but after one block attempt I realized I would need proper templates. I will purchase the die when I am ready to give this pattern a shot.
