Do the others have a sewing machine? If not DO NOT GET ENVOLVED! You will be doing all the sewing for them. If they don't sew at all, why would the join a quilting group? If they really want to learn this, give them a list for the project and put it to the point that they get a machine. The cheap ones at Wal-mart will be a good start. A 4 patch will be the best to start with. Good luck.
