    Oh, Aggi, what a fantastic class!

    I don't have any additional ideas to add to your list since
    most of them I don't know how to do yet! But, your idea is
    wonderful. I like the idea of giving everyone a taste of all
    of the techniques that go into quilting.

    (I want to take it too!)

    Hi Klue - speaking of which :D Any chance you'd be willing to do a tutorial for those of us that are clueless on the continuous prarie points? You are so talented and I'd love to get a lesson or two from you - seems like the prarie points would be a fun thing to learn...

    Might consider having students select several squares and research the history of them. I have always enjoyed learning about the background of particular patterns.

    Have to include a crazy quilt square! Also perhaps a stack-and-wack and a fused design of their own creation.

    Thanks for the suggestions.. I had them on my list already before I posted this thread!!! Those two blocks show great techniques too!

    Partial seams is another technique, as used in Bright Hopes.

    Be aware that flanges and piping added to interior seams, like sashing, are a bear to avoid if the sampler is to be machine quilted. You might want to stick with the outside edge for a learning project like this.
    Sorry ghostrider, I did not see that you had posted it before I did :oops: :oops: :oops:
    Inner City blocks would be a good choice, too!! I would defineately need a class for those!!! :wink: :D
