MONUMENTAL FAN BLADE PIECED VINTAGE QUILT TOP
   

 



It looks like a monumental fan blade rotating atop a concentric pieced squares background, but there may be an actual name for this pattern when it was conceived as a small pieced square, not blown up to wall size proportions of just one large block. What an inventive and certainly modern looking composition, I wonder how often the maker stood back a distance to admire her unique handiwork?!
