We learned how to cut, how to make templates, turned edge freezer paper applique, sashing & cornerstones, mitered borders, flying geese, how to hand baste ( I was supposed to hand quilt this-we learned hand quilting in a frame.) she pretty much demoed in class & then our homework was to go home & make the block or do the assignment. I hadn't sewed in 30 years. There was a lot of cussin & cryin that went into that little quilt. I couldn't cut accurately or sew a consistent 1/4 seam for anything....
