Yes, we quilted it in class, too. We made the binding as well. The goal was to finish one placemat, but have the skills to complete the rest, using our blocks we made in class. Some did just one mat, and others made more. Most went home with one completed mat and the rest had the tops pieced and ready to sandwich.
