I want to take your class! Mine did not include any curvy pieces at all.. we used the New Sampler Quilt book by Diane Leone and it was pick the ones you want to do I will help everyone on their blocks and as newbies.. you go for the easier ones and with twenty students what teacher could stop and teach each and every different pattern to each student in six classes? I am to this day scared to death of those curvy pieces and avoid them. love them but avoid them.

Thank you everyone! As for the question about how long my class was, it was designed to be a 14 week class ($10 per 2 hour class) with the 12 blocks, then the sashing and cornerstones and finally, the borders. But all of my ladies wanted to make a queen size quilt, so I continued to bring block patterns and the class went on for a year and a half! A second class was only 9 or 10 weeks since we were moving, so we did 2 blocks per class the last few weeks to get it all done before I moved. I really think it was an ideal way to teach beginners. They learned a new technique with each block.
