On my design wall this morning are some sampler blocks that I'm doing for a beginner's quilting class.
I joined it so that I could take my friend and I have been enjoying it so much! Even when you've been quilting for a while, going to a beginner's class is really fun, I think. You meet new people; you hear all about how others teach; and at the end, you have a finished quilt! What more could you ask for?
We're working from one of Eleanor Burns' Quilter's Almanac series.

Really pretty done in those colors. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I really enjoy going to an occasional quilt class too, although I'm limited to weekend or evening ones due to my work schedule. And I always learn something new, even after 30 of quilting.
Love the color palette you are using for those blocks! Enjoy the rest of the class.
Love the colors in your blocks. They will make a fun quilt when you are done.
I have that book too. I think the only thing I've ever used it for is the August block, Tumbleweed. I know I've made it a couple of times for swaps and the like. Your colors just sing to me! Nice job.
