When I was in 4-H a few years back (lol) my project leader had picked 12 quilt blocks all different and pretty basic patterns out for use to do, but each one teaching a different skill such as squares, triangles, circles, etc. I guess you could say like a sampler quilt. We all really enjoyed it and the good thing was you where always changing to keep a person interested as if one is too hard or too simple they didn't get bored or fed up and just quit. Also they she could use each block as a mug rug or hot pads to give as gifts.
