2023 - 06/02-06/03 - Intermediate Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx Paper Piecing with Michael Davison
VINTAGE COMPASS is a super fun 62" x 62" wall or lap quilt. It is an advanced beginner/intermediate Judy Niemeyer foundation paper piecing project that builds on all basic Judy Niemeyer Quiltworx techniques and skills. A very confident beginner could complete this project as well.
We will practice Judy's organizational methods and spend time preparing our foundation papers and layout sheets. The central Mariner's compass style star center focuses on all sizes of straight seams, while the whimsically paper pieced border gives you the chance to practice sewing gently curved seams. This 2-Day workshop will get you well on your way towards completing your Vintage Compass!
