Do you have a really good longarmer or quilter in your guild? Or can you bring in an outside teacher? Maybe a seminar on "how the heck do I quilt this" with participants bringing in flimsies the teacher could use as demo.

How to properly measure for borders

Tricks for getting points to match, such as elmers school glue or basting at the intersections and checking before stitching the whole line, double pinning (which is what I do) etc.
