Rainbow Fan Variations

I thought I'd collect all my photos of this fan variation.
It wasn't hard.

This one looks to be 1940s-50s

From an online auction
Seems to be the only photo I have of the pattern

The Ladies' Art Company published it as  Rainbow

The Quilt Index has a page with the LAC diagram.

Butterick published a pattern for this fan like Sun-Burst (half a sunburst)
design in 1889.

George Snyder posted this early 20th-century Georgia quilt on
our QuiltHistorySouth Facebook page.

Just three double fans amidst the squares, rectangles & triangles.

Half a plate

A few quilters have used this half a circle set

This one from the Oregon Project and the Quilt Index.
It's a fairly easy way to get a complicated look.




Out of print pattern.

If you rotated every other row and did a half-drop repeat......
Snake-ish
