This pattern came from a magazine from 1976 called Olde Time Needlework. I would love to have the whole magazine instead of one page. Have you out there in blog world heard of this magazine? The story that goes with the photo is that back in the early 1800's there was an album quilt and it found it's way years later in a covered wagon to California and then worn out and mellow, it became a horse blanket. A woman took the quilt and copied off her favorite block, a fan and called it Dobbin's Fan. Cool story. Reminds me of the children's story book by Gail Radley called "The Spinner's Gift" which is almost the same story.
I really like this pattern. It looks elegant.
