UPDATED with pics! went to my first hand quilting class last night
It was fun! But we just picked out fabric and cut templates. I have to cut my fabric as home work before next class.
We're making a 9x9 square of our choice (I'm doing a friendship star). I'll post pics when I'm done!
UPDATE:
top of pillow I made in class
finished product:

Why does it scare you? I haven't started sewing yet, so maybe I'll be scared after today too! 
I'll post my finished square, and then see what you girls think I should do with it. I'm thinking a pillow...

Where are you taking the class? I would like to get into quilting but I'm really not detail oriented and I don't know how I would do with something that seems so precise.
Let us know how you make out!

I'm taking the class at a quilting store in MD near where I live. I'm sure most quilting stores have classes.

 I'm trying to bring quilting back, make it funky like some people did with knitting a few years ago  I have all the stuff necessary to make my pillow but I don't know which stitching to use. I'm going to email my quilting instructor and ask her. Then I'll post when it's done!
