I can try! She actually uses electric quilt paper. You sew on the lines and leave it in. How hard can that be?
Seriously, this was so easy. There were two sizes of rectangles - 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and 3" x 4". The sunburst spires were made by placing on the paper template stitching and snipping, then trimming. Then taking an 8" square you use her two templates to cut the curved pieces. The smaller one was a little tricky in that you had to use a pin in the center and then do about 3 stitches at a time, easing it along. The top curve was a snap. Then you measure and cut and end up with a 6 1/2" block. There's a lot of waste fabric, but she showed you how to use it in a smaller block, so not actually wasted.
If any of you can get your guild to bring her there, I highly recommend her class. Even if I did miss half of it. :oops:
