I was asked to teach a class for my "Stellar" quilt. That meant writing a pattern. A pattern that made sense! So I set forth doing so.
I am fortunate to have a "master quilter" as my Mother, and a dear friend (& second mother, also a "master quilter") who graciously proofed my pattern and offered excellent suggestions.
Then 2 days of class. With 4 awesome students. I am always amazed at how much I learn through teaching. I had 4 students with 4 different sets of skills, and all 4 created amazingly wonderful quilts.
With my pattern (giggle)!
Casey created a gorgeous purple and blue on white:
Betty used bright greens and solid yellow with a gray/white pin dot background:
Donna loved my patriotic version and set out to create a similar one (her first quilt!):
Colleen's is a gorgeous riot of color on muslin:
Aren't they all AWESOME? I am so proud of these quilts and so excited by their enthusiasm!
I am so grateful for these ladies, and their perseverance and patience. I teach this again in October and I am looking forward to seeing the quilts those students create!
And they have asked me to develop a pattern, and teach Monolith!

(She had hers 80%completed)

(Colleen probably has hers completed now!)
