So many people want simple and fast. The first class I took was at our local Library. We made a whole quilt, consisting of 12, 12 in. finished blocks. They taught us everything. The blocks got progressively harder as we went along, they were all star blocks. One had the flying swallows around the center. Anyway, they told us, by the time we finished this quilt, we would be able to make anything we wanted to. They were right. I learned more in that one class, 25 years ago, then I have learned since then. It was taught by 2 very talented ladies who were fantastic quilters. I will never forget them.
