I would consider myself a newbie, because I only will stick with 3 to 6' squares, and nothing else. Paper piecing are a big question mark to me, and borders are hit and miss. But all in all, I've made about 5 quilts since I started last yearand they haven't turned out too bad. Now I'm going to attempt to make tote bags; which is something altogether new to me, but I'm determined that it WILL get done. :? Any suggestions are very much appreciated and needed. I just purchased a pattern for the simple designer Tote Bag. Are there any shortcuts that would make it easier for me?

Some things I've kinda gotten the hang of over the years, though...
- paper piecing
- EQ6
- making my Janome 6600P perform

Now I have a 22 yr old daughter who has asked me to teach her to quilt. I know the very basics and have some of my Mother's items that she used, and alot of blocks that she had made but never put in a quilt. I'd like to eventually use the blocks Momma had made and make a quilt.
In the meantime, my daughter will be coming home for 10 days the first part of June and I'd like to have a simple project for her to work on, but something that would be useful. Any suggestions on which block would be SIMPLE or where I should get her started?
Thank you for your suggestions! I could certainly use them.

I'll try to post pics of the quilt we finished while my DD was in town for a week.
