It doesn't sound like their plan is to make a 9-patch quilt. It sounds like their plan is for you to make a 9-patch quilt that can then be quilted by the group. So apparently they don't want to learn to sew/piece, they just want to learn to hand quilt? I wonder why? I would put forward the idea that it makes sense to first learn how to construct a quilt if you want to learn how to quilt a quilt.
