Where did you take your class? West Side Sewing?
I took mine at Pine Needles. Also I know you talked about doing the decorative stitch, they have a way you can put the block in your embroidery hoop and it will do all the stitches for you when using that specific foundation pattern. Pretty slick!
Anyway I've now printed out numerous patterns as well as ordered a few, might make a sample block quilt when I'm done and then try....GULP a log cabin! :)
