Has anyone evre done Cleopatra's Fan?
This quilt is on my Bucket List and I would really like to do it but I'm not sure about all the template cutting.
Anyone ever done this one?
Here is a link to a bunch of images..... Cleopatra's Fan images
Thanks, Watson

First, I have to say that I am not a fan of templates at all. I can't cut the same thing twice and I would need about 20 copies because I will cut them up one at a time for sure. Instead of making templates, I would make several copies of the pattern template page and then cut multiple sets of fabric at one time. Then just piece normally per the Kaufman pattern directions.

One of the ladies in our Boom swap group does Cleopatra's fan blocks as a treat for us. She uses Inklingo and sews by hand!
It's got to be the hardest block to make that I have ever seen. I love the way they look, but won't be making any.

I haven't made it yet but it is in the near future. This is the planned next die for me to get. Having the accurate cuts should make the difference on how it comes together. I am enjoying the die cutting system I have. I want to do this block, Cleopatra's Fan really bad. It has always been on my to do list.
