Instructions

This is a Technique of the Month designed by Judy Niemeyer. It is well paced and challenging with many different techniques.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Unisex

Style: Traditional


Materials

I used many different cotton batiks

What was your inspiration?

The colors that I chose for this quilt are not normally colors that I would choose. I tend to go to bright and bold. So I love eggplant and it's color, so that was my inspiration!!

What are you most proud of?

I learned new paper piecing techniques throughout the process. Also, that I can teach this class.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Patience, it is a time consuming project. But you must be willing to learn new techniques as well.

Jackie, this is very pretty. I started a Glacier Star monthly tech program this last Saturday. For something I was so looking forward to, I was very disappointed. Maybe it isn't so, but it appeared the lady sitting next to me had more knowledge of the technique, than the instructor. I really hope I'll have my project completed "someday". Your project turned out so beatiful. I know you are so proud.

Linda n I love this pattern but it looks as if it has Y seams (set in seams) which we hate! Does it have Y seams?

I am new to paper piecing and quilting. Your use of color and the perfect points gave my eyes a delightful experience. I could not get a link for the pattern but can probably locate it online. Thank you for feeding my creative spirit by sharing your work.

Unfortunately this pattern is only sold by Judy Niemeyer Certified Shops and teachers. So you will only find it through a handful of people. I will be certified in July as one of her National Teachers and it will be available through my website at that time. Check back with my site then. It is a great pattern to learn various techniques.
