The 8 things are: #1 String blocks using a paper foundations. #2. String blocks using a cloth foundation, #2 Using glue to baste the sandwich together. #4 Using decorative stitches to set off the blocks. (this was a bit tricky), #5 QAUG with fold over, #6, FMQ, #7 using stencils laid over blocks with paper patterns over each area, #8 fold over and machine stitched binding. ( I will go back to hand stitching on the finish I did not like this at all). Most of these things I became comfortable doing and will do again a couple I most likely will let them fall by the wayside.

I like to do the fold over and machine stitch on the binding of charity quilts. It's fast and easy, and if you fold the back over and tuck it under the batt, you have two layers on the fold. Saves fabric, too.
