Need Help with Fan Block
I think this is a fan block, although I can't find anything similar online. I was gifted a bunch of pre-cut pieces to assemble this block but am missing the strip between the fan blades and the curved center quarter piece. There are two pieces of fabric in my stash that I think could work. I'd appreciate advice on which one, though.
I will pick out the assembled block to see whether the strip is straight or curved. I can't find anything online about a block like this.

It's called "Grandmother's fan". You should find lots of tutorials and photos.The strip is cut as a circle. How else could it be done? Or, just eliminate the strip. It's not required to make a nice block. The pink matches better.
