Foundation paper pieced I have quilt pro software called Mariners Compass Vol 3... The software prints out templates or a foundation. The 6 point one is an easier pattern than the 12 point one. I find I don't really care for the "ring" ones as there are too many parts to sew together. The "ring" ones are the ones wiht a circle in the middle. Next payday I'm going ot order the quilt pro software so I can save blocks to it and create quilts from it. I have just this software and it lets me print out the foundations or templates and such only , I can't create any quilts from it. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay..P. S. the pictures are printed from the software and I like that as you can print out the picture of the block so you can get an idea where to put your colors.
