mariner's compass
Does anyone know where I can find a Mariner's Compass quilt pattern that is not paper pieced? All of the ones I find online are all paper-pieced. There should be one out there somewhere with pattern pieces that I can trace onto plastic template pieces. Any help?

Judy Mathison's book has detailed instructions on how to draft your own MC in any size you wish. You could draft your own and make your own templates

However, unless you are hand piecing, I agree with the previous posters to foundation piece it in some way. The above mentioned book features a method using freezer paper where you sew next to the folded paper instead of through it. I loved it and made a beautiful MC quilt using Judy's methods and book.
