Our home school co-op thought our girls should learn some quilting. Five girls worked on each quilt. It was a blast and I learned a lot too. Things that you definitely need to tell beginners. #1 make sure your fabrics are lined up so they are BOTH getting sewed. Now working to get them all quilted and bound by the 15 of March. 2 down, 2 to go :lol:

LOL. And working with directional fabric is too much for a newbie. Oh my goodness, that was my daughters first quilt, fabric going every which direction, it was funny.
They did a wonderful job. Best part is that they had fun.

They did a fantastic job!!! Congrats to ALL of them!!! And they are learning things that public schools have discontinued. A friend of mine is what once was a Home Ec teacher. The only way now she can teach any of the kids to even sew on a button is at her house, on her own time.
The school has gone to Culinary Arts, and yet, most of them don't know any more than how to nuke a frozen pizza.
