it's a beauty .... and of course, we would like to see it once it's all done.
Is it a dresden plate? and are you stitching it all? or applique?
One more request ... would you please show us the virgin fabric?

It is a fan that is pieced and then stitched to a square. It has a bias across the top of the fan and a quarter circle on the bottom. This is the original fabric. This is the first time I have attempted the stack and whack. We had a lesson on it at our retreat.

I had thought I would give it as a gift until my husband really liked it and said we should keep it. This will be the first one that I have made the whole thing and kept it. I have won several sets of blocks and have kept one of them so far, The rest have been given to family members.

WOW! What a gorgeous quilt. I think I would use the black/gray border. It will let the red fans stand out. I think the red print detracts from the fans.
I may have to try one of those stack and whack things.
