I have one last block (of 12) to go, and I will be so very glad when it's done. The class was not cheap, and I will never take another of that instructor's classes nor buy any patterns she produces.
What's made it "advanced" is that rather than learning within the class, I'm having to search for other tutorials and use other tools (buy templates/rulers) to actually produce usable blocks.
Any class that was that bad would deserve naming, so no one else gets to learn any more "advanced" techniques from the presenter. If you inadvertently hired a bad painter, you would tell your neighbors not to hire him/her. A person who sells a quilting class should be held to the same standard.
