I am absolutely floored by how many people wanted to answer this. I am so glad that I asked. The thought just jumped into my head the other day.

It's an interesting question/topic which is why so many wanted to answer it, I think. Thanks for asking it.

The classes that I attended were all demonstrations. We left with the pattern, directions, etc. and sometimes the fabric

:wink: to make our block. We brought our finished block to the next class to show and tell, ask questions, etc.

The hardes for me was the border of the quilts that I made. I found a book in our library can't remenber the name of it but it did show step by step how to do borders.

Never had the money for a class. I always spent what $$ I had on fabric and get most of my help and ideas from books purchased at thrift stores and borrowed from the library and this forum of course! :lol: :lol:
