Judy Niemeyer Quilting Quilting Christmas pattern

I have never paper pieced anything this elaborate before. I took someone's advice and put the directions in a binder. I put a swatch of fabric where it has a space for you to do so. And I bagged the actual foundation pieces into ziplock bags. I also bagged the small pieces after cutting them. Everything is in a box, including the fabric so I can pick right back up on it as I have to finish a quilt that I was making. This skirt will be beautiful when I'm finished. I plan to have it custom quilted.

It came ripped

I intend to make a table cloth in lieu of a tree skirt.

Great Pattern! Thank you

Judy's patterns make some BEAUTIFUL quilts. The instructions can be intimidating at first, so you must be organized and read thoroughly before beginning. I found that a 1/2" binder with sleeves helps immensely. I cut the directions into individual pages and place them into the sleeves, and put the cover picture into the sleeve on the cover of the binder. Take one step at a time, organizing your pattern pieces and fabric cuts into freezer bags using binder clips to keep pieces together. And don't forget to clip a swatch of your fabrics and glue them to the guide she provides. I put that page in the sleeve on the back of the binder. You'll be glad you were organized and you'll have a fabulous quilt when you're done! I've used other designer's paper piecing patterns, and they weren't nearly as organized, not to mention some of them don't include pre-printed foundation papers. You're stuck tracing the pattern yourself. Now that's a real pain.

Love it - just what I ordered.
