QuiltnNan has the right pattern, which looks like what you have described. You can make this block, piecing it completely, however, I might consider doing machine applique or even hand applique for the fan. Having made this pattern before many years ago, getting the curves to get together can be a little tricky, but of course it's your quilt.

Of all the places to see one like you are describing, The Beverly Hillbillies has a fan quilt on their truck in a lot of episodes

Sorry it has taken so long to get this picture up - I wanted to wait until the quilt was pretty much finished before taking it. It must be a Grandmother's Fan variant, but I am curious whether it has its own name...
