You Ladies have beautiful items.

I really don't have any desire yet to try PP.

There is a Craftsy class specifically teaching JN method: Paper Piecing the Quiltworx Dresden Plate. It is very helpful.

Ohhh, I'll look at that Craftsy class.

Thanks much

I strongly advise taking a class using pp, it is like sewing upside down and backwards and so much different that regular piecing. It can be a struggle at first, but with an experienced teacher you will get the hang of it. I love doing both techniques, actually. PP is messy, but worth it, in my opinion.

Love your flowers. I too love paper piecing but haven't tackled a JN pattern yet. I made this one as my intro to paper piecing, not knowing what I didn't know! [ATTACH=CONFIG]572070[/ATTACH]

Judy Niemeyer has YouTube videos of her cutting out the pattern and how to cut out the fabric to sew on your pattern I've made Fire Island Hosta. I absolutely love the way Judy Niemeyer does her paper piece patterns, if you're on sure start with a small project, maybe placemats but I think you will love it.
I won a 3 place ribbon at a local quilt show for my Fire Island Hosta Quilt.
It was the first paper pieced quilt, I ever made.
