Bonnie came to my guild with a trunk show. She is an engaging speaker and it was fun to see her amazing quilts. However, one teacher does not fit all quilters. As you are just two years into quilting, you could definitely learn from Bonnie. You'll have to do your T-chart with pluses and minuses and decide which side wins!

Go to her class. If you have never worked with triangles, then you will be amazed at what you learn. The cost is an investment in your knowledge of quilting.

I’m sure it would be a great experience...from listening to her live cam, I think she would be a lot of fun. Even if you aren’t crazy about the two patterns, you could make a small project and donate it to a charity.

Take the class, I think she has indicated that she will not be teaching for much longer - at least teaching that involves travel. She is going to stay close to home and run her quilt retreat.

Like others have said, most of us learn something with every class we take, no matter how long we have been quilting.

If you like BH, her site, her blog and most things she does, think seriously about taking her class. There is so much to learn from her and fellow class mates. It is maybe the experience that is the most important. Like others have said, turn the project into a table runner or give it away to a charitable cause. Last year I took a class from a nationally known teacher. I learned so much and enjoyed her presence, but, I didn't like my product squares. They made great pot holders. But, I am so glad I did the class.

I will be faced with the same problem. BH is coming to Shipshewana in Nov. 2019. Well it sounded like a long way off a year or so ago, but it is almost upon us. I want to finish my Alletaire for the show and tell part. I want to take a class, but just like you, there are only a few patterns that I am drawn to. But it is best for me to broaden my horizons and learn something outside my comfort zone, So let's hope I've got my name in to the secretary on time.

I never heard of Bonnie Hunter until this board. I would go just for all the tips she seems to be known for. I've taken classes from other teachers before and learned a lot more than just what the project was.

I was lucky enough to get a spot in one of her classes as I was on the "waiting list". Take the class, she's wonderful and the things that you learn will be well worth it. Who says you have to make an entire quilt? A couple of blocks is about the amount of time you might have. Show and tell time is great, both hers and any others there-if that's an option. Buying her book, I'm waiting for her blog to say it's pre-order time....I love them, will never make all of them, just plain great dream materials sometimes.

Just do what is in your heart and you will find the answer. I would love to meet Bonnie Hunter and take her class. It's a great opportunity, you'll have fun and learn some of her techniques.

I would definitely take her class, the tips, techniques, wisdom and experience would be more than worth time and money. And like someone else said you won't be making a whole quilt but just a couple of blocks. I don't think I have ever attended a class and not had an aha moment from the instructor or another attendee.
