Well, the beauty of Flanders and Binche is that design elements can increase and decrease the numbers of pairs to fit the space. Pairs can be thrown in or out, while changes in the grounds can keep the density consistent.
Another option, which I have seen used, is to work the entire fan as a straight lace, increasing and decreasing on the long sides. Does that make any sense? Think about the piece I worked... "Brugge", which is curved on the top and straight across the bottom. Theoretically, the bottom could also be curved... But the lace was worked from one end to the other, not from top to bottom. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacemaker/8087722261/ The Master Class (Anne Marie's amazing group) has designed numerous pieces that are circular mats... "The Tournament" comes to mind... Clay Sent from my iPad > > By the way, I did find a pattern for a Flanders circle edging, so I presume a > fan could easily be drawn in Flanders.
