"Follow The Leader", it's where someone posts step by step instructions to a basic quilt, the group could do together, and post photos to share. This is a nice project for beginning quilters to learn one basic pattern after another.
It's suggested you do a very simple quilt first, then move up each time to more difficult patterns. Also suggested you do wall hanging sizes, if they wish to continue the pattern to make it bigger, they do so on their own. Example the simple 9-patch, creating 9 blocks, or sewing 35 blocks for a larger quilt, etc. Would any of our newbie's be interested in this? Would any of our experienced quilters like to help? Perhaps someone sign up for each new quilt technique/pattern. 4 or 9-patch. Split Rail or basket weave. Snowball or Churn Dash. They (beginners) start with learning to line up seams & corners, then onto triangles, then curves. And sashing, borders, bindings, then machine quilting. And the teacher should find good youtube or tutorial video's to post links so they can view, or provide one they create themselves. And a link to a pattern, there are hundreds of free block & quilt patterns online. Anyone interested? Maybe it help those who are starting from step one. Those returning, a refresher course, and those who've quilted but had problems some solutions. Just a thought.
