I didn't get any photos of the 'homework' from last month, but plenty of moans about how difficult the binding had been! I did remind them that we had been working with fairly small units, and that binding a large quilt would be much easier, but promised them something easier for this session.
As I hadn't finished my sample, I took them on a Magical Mystery Make instead! Based on a tutorial from Lis at Piece 'n' Peace, (thanks, Lis) I got them making Christmas Coasters that DID NOT NEED BINDING!!!! Just for fun I didn't tell them what they were making, just gave them one instruction at a time!
Didn't they do well
