If you've taken any quilting classes which one's did you enjoy the most or which pattern did you make in a class that you liked the best?

My group did a brown bag quilt. Everyone brought in scraps and the teacher told us what size to cut them (I think 2" square) and we threw them all in a brown bag and picked out a handful without looking. You couldn't but back any piece's, what you got is what you used. And she told us what kind of pattern we were making. It was fun, I would like to do it again.

Okay...found the quilt...Here' a picture. We had to use our own background material. And it look's like we also had another bag with 4" square's we cut in triangles.

Paper piecing and FMQ were the most helpful.I also enjoyed needle turn applique.I guess I like classes that teach technique after looking at what I posted.

I only took one class and it was terrible. I never attended another one after that.Maybe someday I might try again.

I did the scrap therapy class....really 2 classes....one concentrates on making you acknowledge and appreciate your bags of scraps and cut them out and in the second class you work on a pattern with the scraps that you've cut. Because of that class and the way they had me reorganize my scraps, I'm working on my 12th and 13th lap quilts using them.

Were they cut into 2 1/2 " strips?, 4-5" squares?

I have taken classes I loved, and classes I hated. I took one from Bonnie Hunter and then became a groupie. She is a great teacher and even though I have been quilting for years, I learned some great tips. Just took a FMQ class from Frieda Anderson, which was great and has given me the courage to go ahead without fear. Took a starch applique class which I didn't like, but it did give me the jumping off point to tweak the skill a bit.

There are some great ideas on here! :)

I did a lap quilt in a class - churn dash set on point. I also did a table runner, which I really liked, and a workshop on needleturn applique, which I hated. It was nearly a year ago, and I still haven't finished it!! I like the comraderie of being in a group, but most of my quilts are worked out at home, with a quick call to my local quilt shop for advice if I get in trouble.

Are you asking because you are going to teach a class or you are going to take a class
