If I can paper piece, anyone can!

Oh, Aggi, what a fantastic class!

I don't have any additional ideas to add to your list since
most of them I don't know how to do yet! But, your idea is
wonderful. I like the idea of giving everyone a taste of all
of the techniques that go into quilting.

(I want to take it too!)

Hi Klue - speaking of which :D Any chance you'd be willing to do a tutorial for those of us that are clueless on the continuous prarie points? You are so talented and I'd love to get a lesson or two from you - seems like the prarie points would be a fun thing to learn...

I'll see what I can do when I get this project done!!!

Might consider having students select several squares and research the history of them. I have always enjoyed learning about the background of particular patterns.

Have to include a crazy quilt square! Also perhaps a stack-and-wack and a fused design of their own creation.

Thanks for the suggestions.. I had them on my list already before I posted this thread!!! Those two blocks show great techniques too!

Yes, I can't do paper pieced either - I still can't get past the first two pieces :roll:

Oh yeah - I want to come too!!!!! :D

Partial seams is another technique, as used in Bright Hopes.
Also, Inner City is a good block for Y seams and is not often taught.
Be aware that flanges and piping added to interior seams, like sashing, are a bear to avoid if the sampler is to be machine quilted. You might want to stick with the outside edge for a learning project like this.

Sorry ghostrider, I did not see that you had posted it before I did :oops: :oops: :oops:
Inner City blocks would be a good choice, too!! I would defineately need a class for those!!! :wink: :D
