I used Judy Mathieson's book "Mariner's compass quilts setting a new course"
http://www.amazon.com/Mariners-Compa...ss+quilt+books
The book teaches you how to draft several different styles of compass, has full size patterns for a few different ones and teaches you step by step with photos and text using the freezer paper technique. I loved the book and also Judy's instructions. It has loads of eye candy in the book too. I highly recommend it. Here are links to two quilts I did using Judy's book:
