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.

gingerd: not sure if she has something for beginner; but their are many people that have done tutorials on her patterns check youtube out this may help you with the process.

You're on your way, based on your wonderful flower samples. Nice work!

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.

SherB that is a gorgeous piece! The black background allows your color choices to POP!!
