    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.

    There really was not a pattern. We would go to class, take notes & then would go home & make the block or two that the instructor demonstrated that day. When I posted the sampler on my website to sell it, someone asked about the pattern & I have not been able to find my notes from that class. I may not have kept them as they were hand written.

    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:
