Judy Niemeyer Lotus Flower (Beginning Paper Piecing/Judy Niemeyer Method)



Quiltworx patterns introduce quilters to the Judy Niemeyer method of paper piecing.  This method utilizes Template Layout Sheets to expedite cutting, engineered papers to assure accurate assembly, and Floating Points guaranteeing no point is chopped off. 

Lotus Flower is specifically categorized as a "beginner's" (new to paper piecing) pattern and includes the unique curved piecing method specific to Judy's methodology.
