I am to this day scared to death of those curvy pieces and avoid them. love them but avoid them.

I almost didn't recognize the drunkard's path, first block, second row. I love your layout.
I think it is great to have the same teacher for that long. We all have different techniques and it can be confusing in the beginning.

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.
