First I would like to thank Bethany Reynolds, for her books and patterns for Whack and Stack! Thank you!

 We've had lots of fun in the past teaching from her books. No one minds buying a book for class, when there are so many ideas. Where's this going, you might ask? Well it's like this. As a left handed aquarian, I must confess, I read the pictures. My friend Marie can attest to this, she's also a left handed aquarian. Same problem. So imagine my surprize when I used Bethany's pattern (which includes the ruler) to make her version of Grandma's fan.  Each block should measure 8 inches? I don't think so. Oh (sigh), you wanted me to cut 7 inch strips. Oh. I believe bigger is better, so when ya' give me a 9 inch ruler, I cut 9 inch wedges. Ok, my 8 inch block has turned into a 12.5 inch. So the store sample will be giant....this is what you can do with Bethany Reynolds' nifty fan pattern and ruler.

Now we're just getting silly!
