Yes, I'll be teaching this. While it may be a small block (6"), it's a good one to learn how to paper piece, IMO. I, unfortunately, am a quilter who saves everything (except for selvages!), so I do have small scraps that work nicely for this type of project. I'm doing these with my Kansas Troubles scraps...I love the fabrics too much to throw anything away, and these were leftover from some large quilts I had done. The beauty of the class is that once students learn how to PP, they can increase the block size (if they wish) or make as many of the 6" blocks as they wish...so, they can use up the scraps if they so desire. Was a way to have a class w/o students needing to necessarily buy specific fabrics to use....use up what they already have if they want.
