When teaching a friend to quilt, it's helpful to have a plan! Check out Pat Sloan's Teach Me to Make My First Quilt, C&T Publishing, 2023. It includes basics about fabric, sewing, pressing, assembling, and finishing a quilt. Beginners start by making basic blocks such as Four Patch, Rail Fence, Nine Patch, and more, and continue by constructing a table runner and other very doable projects that won't overwhelm.
