Your student sounds like an enthusiastic spitfire. Frustrating, but we all learn what is important at different speeds.
I haven't read all the posts, but I suspect that things won't go together well. Perhaps she'll have to add wonky borders and hers will then be unique, and a new technique will be learned by everyone in the class.
I like to enjoy the process, and it sounds as though she is certainly doing that. She may well be the next famous "art" quilter.
They are tough folks to teach, but we are all unique.
