Judy's quilts are striking no matter what colors you use. I love black, white and red. Judy's patterns aren't hard, but it helps to have someone guide you through your first one. There are even tips for cutting out the papers. I have three of her quilts "in process" and I pick them up from time to time and sew on them when I go through my rotation of UFOs. It helps if you have a ironing and cutting station close to your sewing machine as paper piecing requires a lot of trimming and pressing.
