I will be teaching a beginning quilting class soon and I was wondering what quilt pattern you would suggest for new quilters.
I have been quilting 12 years and have some ideas for beginners, but I was wondering what ideas other quilters might have.
The class will be six weeks, meeting once a week, and cover all aspects of quilting, from fabric selection through binding and labels.
Thanks for your ideas!

I'm a retired teacher. The sewing teacher at the high school I taught used the 9 patch. I taught quilting for a while at a local Sew n' Vach shop & used the "More Quilts for Baby" by Ursela Reikes book. I would have each student pick a pattern to make either a baby quilt of lap throw.
