You can start either quilt during this three day class at quiltfabric.com outside of Chicago. The Amazon Star is huge, but one of the easiest. The Prairie Star is a little more challenging but the two have similarities so they can be taught together.
If you get your fabric and pattern from us, the class is only $150. We have two hotels within 200 yards that are less than $99 a night. The Clubhouse Inn (a privately owned hotel) and a Best Western. Lunch is included, and the hotels have breadkfast and happy hour. We have the biggest classroom you have ever seen, and we have Janome machines for everyone to use, so you do not have to schlep your own.
