I've been thinking of teaching a quilt class that could be finished in one session (or perhaps 2). I thought this Easy Starburst pattern might work.

Readers: Could you suggest other patterns that would work well.
Thanks!
Thrums, I think HSTs are not easy for beginners. All those seams need to be nested exactly for it to look nice. At the classes I taught, I asked the students to bring three yards of fabric: one yard light, one medium and one dark. They had the choice of making a Disappearing 9-Patch or a Rail Fence. There are others that are as easy: Warm wishes, Take Five etc.
We had three two hour classes. Class one was cutting, and sewing the top. Class two was sandwiching and quilting. Class three was binding. Those who did their "homework" got a finished quilt. The rest had the knowledge to finish by themselves. Most did.
