I have been in awe of her patterns for some time but never thought that I would tackle one. A local shop recently hosted classes on the Mariner's Compass quilt, so I signed up. I bought the pattern, fabric and went to the first class thinking 'what have I done- I will never be happy with my work on this'. WRONG!! It was amazing! The class was great, the pattern was perfect and I found her method for piecing logical and easy to follow. I am hooked. It blows me away that I can actually put together such a complicated looking quilt and have it turn out perfectly. Thank you Judy Niemeyer! I will be making more of her beautiful patterns.
