The purpose of the class revolves around piecing too- she teaches how to piece every single design. It's not just for free motion quilting. The only reason I bought this pattern was to try my hand at a lot of different piecing skills, since my piecing sucks (I don't do it very much).
Personally- I did like the star block, even though mine barely resemble stars. And when put together with the whole quilt they don't stand out as "poorly pieced", because there is so much variety in it.
