there seems to be something similar on this website.....

IT is a very interesting block with angels and fans being two main ideas.

Karamarie

Have never seen that block but like it. Sorry don't know the name.

hairquilt

Oh Wow!! Very different looking block! Love it better than the Dresdan ! Thanks for letting us see it!!

This would make a great swimming fish design turned sideways and with the right colors.

Reminds me of a medal or blue ribbon for an award. This is a very fun block and worth repeating.

Thanks for sharing!

Art Deco-ish/30's butterfly is about the closest I found (though those looked daintier than these - so maybe it's a moth? Ha!). I asked my sister to check with her friend at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. If I hear anything I'll add a comment. Unfortunately, my sister has little interest in quilting so I hope she remembers to pass on my question.

It is a very nice block - like hairquilt above, I too prefer it to the Dresden Fan.

For fun - things I know it's not, but with the right fabrics (or enough wine) might work:
Men's suit & tie
Island volcano with lava flowing to the sea
Moth or beetle

There is a black and white block like this on Pinterest called Art Deco Fan Lamp, but I'm not a member of Pinterest so I can't see the origin (it blocks you when you scroll down if you're not a member).

never saw anything like it. But thanks for sharing.

Look at Cleopatra Fan, I think it is close, seems to be more pieces.
