I think my comment is for both of you ladies. I like paper piecing and decided to take a JN class. It was taken over several weeks. The teacher would demonstrate as she was taught (certified JN teacher). I tried it her way and soon was doing it 'my way'. I was told that I was a rebel. I felt that the object was to complete the units so they work together to complete the quilt as the pattern was designed. I was soon doing my own thing and keeping my mouth closed. I learned a lot but not all of it was useful. I am glad I took the class and I would do another design by JN but I would use my techniques.
