New here - from the Charlotte area in NC. I am going to start on a new quilt after the holidays for my oldest son's graduation and have a feeling that I am getting in over my head! He wants a medallion Mariner's Compass quilt! I have yet to find a pattern for one, so any help would be appreciated!

Hello and welcome from Ontario. Many members have posted their Mariner's Compass quilts. Have you done a search here on the board?
