Looking for Mariner's Compass Pattern
 
I've been searching for a mariner's compass pattern. I haven't had much luck. Could anyone steer me in the right direction please? I'm looking for a book or just the pattern. Thank you!

Here is a free paper pieced pattern. Maybe it will help.

Here are three books from my own collection I can recommend:
1. Nautical Voyages for Quilters - Betty Boyink
2. Mariner's Compass: An American Quilt Classic - Judy Mathieson
3. Mariner's Compass Quilts: Setting a New course - Judy Mathieson

Strongly suggest the Judy Mathieson books well worth the investment.

Carol Doak has a book on mariners compass I believe

I recently bought a book called Showstopping Quilts to Foundation Piece by Tricia Lund and Judy Pollard. I bought it as an e-book directly from Martingale publishing. I was amazed to find it, but it has the same Mariner's Compass pattern that one of our members recently posted as her first (!) paper pieced quilt.

I liked the e-book idea...fast and a little cheaper...but mostly because I can print out the patterns directly from the book. Here's a link to book itself. There are other great patterns also.

I think quiltsmart.com has one on foundation too.

I am currently working on a mariner's compass - I bought the fusible interfacing pattern from Quilt smart - I highly recommend this method - I have never paper pieced or sewn curved seams - this method makes it easy and love the look.

I also recommend Judy Matheison's books.
Here is a link to pictures I posted of the quilt I made using her book. The quilt is my own design but the compass blocks in it came from her book.

Have you checked out "Wedgeworks I or II by Cheryl Philips. Very easy instructions to follow and the end results are fabulous.
