I would suggest a sampler wall hanging so people could learn different techniques for their quilts. It depends on how long the class goes, but either piecing or applique is always good.

I would run not walk to learn how to make a spiral quilt.

I want to do kaliescope quilts. Pardon the spelling, but I think you know what I'm talking about. I'd also like a class in EQ7. I'm good in EQ5, but 7 is throwing me for a loop.

I most enjoy the classes that end up with a finished (or at least mostly finished) project. I took an all day Saturday class to make a small table runner. Learned some rotary cutter tricks, block construction tricks, how to sandwich a quilt, and then stitch-in-the-ditch quilting. I didn't get the binding done in class. A yummy lunch was provided.
