At the shoppe where I work, I teach a beginner class. My current sample was getting tired, so I needed to make a new one.
I started with this little stack,
and this is what I came up with. It still needs its' borders.
While making this lap quilt, the ladies will learn accurate cutting, the 1/4" seam, and some strip piecing. The three different blocks should enable them to go on and make more quilts with some confidence.
Now that it's nearly done, I'm glad I took the time to make it. As a matter of fact, there were two women who came in today wondering if we had beginner classes. Hurray for new quilters!
Also, this is week 32 of the hex-a-thon
Enjoy your day.
Linking up with W.I.P. Wednesday
What a great sample - I hope the ladies who enquired about classes have signed up!!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love that! I can't quite tell the colors though: is that gray, brown, or kind of a mushroomy gray/brown? Whatever it is, it looks great.
