I'm just finishing up my 3rd one. They've all been the civil war taught at a LQS by the same teacher. Along with the instruction she also lectures about the war during the time frame and 2 of them each month were blocks that she researched and designed the colors. Most of the times I would go off on my own and chose my own colors but that's just me. She'd switch it ups some so that as we went along we'd learn more skills including back basting appliqueing. I could listen to this lady lecture for hours on the civil war. I don't see why you keep signing up when you have all of the ones still to do. I like doing the ones thru her because if I need help she is at the store also one day a week where I can go out and she'll show me what I need help with. I think you might need a 12 step program though. LOL.
