    Eleanore Burns had a tuit on one that was so fast and easy but looks complicated call fabric frenzy
    it uses 2 1/2 strips jelly roll and 4 1/2" blocks
    I did two last year for Christmas gifts both were jelly rolls and fat quarters or block precut from walmart
    one was colorful water colors and the other was purple and black prints came out beautiful.
    I don't have directions with me but if your interested let me know I will send them to you.
    If you have a fax machine I can fax the directions to you. Enjoy I'm sure it will be fun.

    Carpenter's Star. Easy to piece but very dramatic is using only 3 colors.

    I took a Quilting 101 course that had double irish chain as the quilt. There was a lot of corners to butt, however, I got real good at it. Let's face it, butting seams is important in quilting. I can see why some would recommend rail fence though.

    Do you plan on having each one make their own individual quilts? If you taught them by all three of you making one quilt (double irish chain), they each would have different homework (if you will) and the quilt could be a traveling quilt. One that holds many memories of all three of you working together....just a thought. Yes, I'm kind of stuck on that one quilt as a good first quilt to learn.
