My pick is a sampler quilt. That way you learn most all the quilt
techniques at one time. |
You know SZQ is right. A sampler is a great idea.

Log cabin.

My project in my beginner quilt class about 25 years ago was a set of oval placemats with a Grandmother's Flower Garden applique in the center of each one. Lots to be learned: hand piecing, applique, set in seams, binding with curves, etc. However....I am not a "placemat person"! Neither was I ready for that beginner class....so I'd recommend what I taught myself on, which was a set of sampler blocks. They never made it into a quilt (YET, ok?) but I learned soooo much more than I did in that class! Oh, and I'm not/never will be a hand piecer either! :)

I teach a sampler quilt which contain many of the blocks that have been suggested.

I think a nine patch would be good with some of the patches having s scene or something on them and some solids.

I have been quilting 12 years and have some ideas for beginners, but I was wondering what ideas other quilters might have. The class will be six weeks, meeting once a week, and cover all aspects of quilting, from fabric selection through binding and labels. Thanks for your ideas! |
My first quilt was a log cabin. I think it is great for beginners.
Good luck |
Everyone teaches differently, but I need more than just a single block quilt for a six week class. If people are going to shell out money for a long class of mine I feel they should learn more than just squares and rectangles. I live on a fixed income and have to watch every penny I spend which may influence my thoughts and opinions.

My first quilt was a log cabin. I had my daughter do a nine patch when she was 6. Rail Fence is a good one also.
