"Mariner's Compass Quilts: Setting a New Course" book by Judy Mathieson. She has a pattern for a 30" round compass with 64 points. Here is a quilt I made from that pattern. I didn't use her method, but the standard way of paper piecing. Amazon.com has it!
The pieced border is my design, not hers. I just took newsprint & drew 2 parallel lines 4" apart. I marked off 1" spaces on one long side, beginning at the end. I marked off 1'' spaces on the other long side, but started 1/2" in from the end. Connect the marks to get the spikes. The corners are just 4" squares that I eye-balled the spikes alternating from the center out.
Love Mariner's Compasses!
