All of the Judy Niemeyer quilt projects that I'm working on are out of Batiks. I love them. I don't think you can go wrong using Batiks. Good luck and I think you will love her quilts.

I've seen some of the Niemeyer designed fabric and it isn't batik.
I'm also taking a Jamie Wallen class and one with Tia Curtis--both long arm classes. My daughter is taking one on using color with Kerr & Ringle , a Zentangle thread painting on the DSM and another one (you'd think I'd remember since I paid for them! LOL!)
So batik or no?? I like it, but have never used it with paper piecing.
