fan block pattern

Where can I get a complete pattern and instructions. Can't find the video. Would really like to make this but it is just too much work trying to figure it out the way it is.

more ideas

I finally found the video which was useful. You could use suede/felt/wool for the black and avoid all those turn-unders! Then use the invisible thread for machine applique. If you're going to use as a wall-hanging, go ahead and use all those neat colors of rayon threads for the applique for more texture and fun! I can't wait to get started on my version!!!

worked great

Since the pattern is supposed to be enlarged 400% from the magazine since I can see why it's spread over several pages. Download worked great. So did the video. Thanks.
