Love your compass. The background fabric really makes it sparkle and look like a star in the night sky. Excellent job.

If you want to pursue doing MC blocks, I highly reccommend Judy Mathieson's book Mariners Compass Quilts Setting a New Direction. In this book she teaches you how to draft your own compasses so you can easily make them any size you want. All you need is a ruler, a compass, pad of paper and pencils. It is very simple to draft them once you have the basic instructions on what to do. She also teaches a great PP technique using freezer paper where you fold the freezer paper back and stitch right next to the paper so you can reuse pattern pieces and there is no tearing of paper.
