I apologize - I'm new on here. I downloaded the star, but only got the picture. No paper piecing pattern. What did I do wrong? :( [We don't own the earth, we only borrow it from our children.]

Hi House of Tomorrow,

Welcome. Easy to confuse. There are two threads for each Block of the Month. One has pictures, one has instructions. You just need to go back to the same area and find the instruction one. To save you time, I am posting it for you.

I love paper piecing, so I decided to try Tim's Compass Star. This is the 4 inch version.

FancyFoot that looks great I have downloaded the pattern am just plucking up the courage to get started.

I use the cheapest paper I can find! It tears off easier too! Just my 2 cents worth...

Susan

Oh Wow! That is soooo cool! Good ob. I confess the paper peicing concept is a bit confusing to me. But I will eventually get around to trying it.

That is beautiful. And four inch, that is a little (lot to me) harder then say a 12 inch... Way to go, nice work!

Ya done good. Even I am not brave enough to try one that small. Do you have plans for it?

tim

very pretty. If you didn't say anything. I wouldn't have noticed.....Keep up the good work

I still don't notice!

Fancy foot - 4"??? That is beautiful. Need to take a class in PP.

Enough stuff there to keep you busy for awhile. I have one project started but I haven't gotten very far. Too many other quilts in the works right now.

that is beautiful !! in a novel, I read where one of these was used for the direction of travel ( underground railroad)

Awsome !

I made my 4" paper pieced version into a mini quilt for hanging. It measures 8"x8"

Beautiful :!: :-)

That's pretty stunning. Find a nice place for it and it will always look down upon you.

These quilts blocks are absolutly beautiful. If only I was so talented. Someday I am going to do one with paper piecing. Just haven't decided the colors to you . I love both of these.

From Don-isewman1. Fabulous compass star..That will be added to my list of quilting project's to do.. Great work

Wow... it's been a long time!

I still have mine hanging in my hallway. It was one of my first pp'd projects & I'm still very proud of it. I wonder what Tim is up to today???

Hi AnneMarie and thimblebug,
Last year was a period of not much going on in the quilting room. Designing and building robotics systems to make money instead. I did go to a Ricky Tims Seminar last spring though. Pretty cool. Anyhow, I am working on stuff now in the project room, only have about 12 unfinished quilts. I went to Paduka last fall with a friend and saw the quilting museum. I liked but I prefer the PanPacific Show here in Santa Clara every fall.
So my quilting is going in a very SW USA direction. Lots of earth tone, Pueblo Indian Designs, bright natural accents. Still making BIG quilts. And every night, I fall asleep under one of mine I made during all my trips to Germany. I hope everyone is well in your lives. I still write Patrice occasionally, she seems very busy too. Take care, tim

I keep getting a page not found message. I tried all of the links so far....

Thank you that link worked. Got it! Might try it tonight.

awesome...just awesome....
