I took a class from Judy Niemeyer years ago - made the Garden Double Wedding Ring - she is an awesome teacher and the quilt went together pretty easily. Everything is included inher patterns and they are worth the price!! I would love to take another class from her since she has a lot more patterns now. Go for it!!

I am currently working on the Garden Double Wedding ring quilt by Neimeyer and am having trouble putting the corner piece on. and when I get one completed and try to square it I can't. Any suggestions would be greatly apprciated.

The pattern picture is made with bali batiks, which I dearly love, but I think it would look good in other fabrics as well. I've made one other Judy Neimeyer pattern and really enjoyed doing it, although I think it was much easier than this one is likely to be.
Hope someone out there can post some pictures - maybe some advice.

I do love the bail Star and would love to make it someday by the 50 dollar price tag is holding me back.

I have not made the Bali Wedding Star, but years ago I took a class from Judy. Her method is FANTABULOUS and her patterns are exquisite. It will be well worth your efforts. Many use batiks in her patterns. I personally, am not a batik fan, so I would go with a line I was real partial to. Praises that quilting beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

I have heard that if you have problems you can contact Judy at quiltworx and she will help you. I have only made the 4th of July pattern and it was not hard. Directions are good. I also have a tree skirt pattern that I would like to get done by Christmas.

I am currently working on Judy's "Feathered Goose" pattern. I was lucky to find it an estate sale for $5!!
Also lucky in that I am using all my batik scraps, and so far have only purchased one background fabric.
Her instructions are very thorough and organized. I like using the templates to precut all the pieces as it certainly cuts down on fabric waste. GO FOR IT!

I have the pattern and am collecting batiks for it right now.
I haven't quite hit on the combination of fabrics that I
want, but I'm working on it. I don't want to make it
scrappy, but more planned. The other thing I am hoping
for before I start this project is someone else, or several
someone's, who live near me that would tackle it with me.
I see you are in TN. Are you anywhere near Nashville?
Anyway, I'm in TX and I have been thinking about putting
out a message, asking if anyone else in my area would be
interested in tackling this together. Maybe someone will
respond in your topic that is near enough to me and that
is interested.
Have a Blessed Day!
