I tried my first Mariners Compass tonight. Tried a different method. It's called the three D fabric folded Mariners. It took me about 15 minutes to cut it out and about a half hour to assemble it. It will take less now that I know what I'm doing. What do you think of it. I'm going to add a border to square it up and use some beads to embellish it. I can't wait to try the 32 point one.

Great job, cant wait to see more!

Wow, gorgeous!

Beautiful!!!

It looks great! I've always loved the Mariner's Compass, but never done one. Your colors are wonderful.

That is beautiful!! Where did you find that pattern?

who's method is this?
this looks great!

You've done a FANTASTIC job on this!! Your color selection really pops!

Lovely, where did you find the pattern?

Love it!

You did a wonderful job on this it is beautiful.

I found the pattern at www.phillipsfiberart.com/ Typed in bargello and picked patterns and it's about half way down the page. I always wanted to make a mariners compass and this was a wonderful and easy pattern.

Really nice...perfect sewing!

totally cool!

Is the top star all one piece of fabric? Love the colors!

love it

It's beautiful. Please keep posting your progress.

Your Mariner's Compass is beautiful. I have one on my Eagle quilt that was my avatar for month's. You said you got your pattern from "Phillip's Fibre Arts" and it was really easy. Mine was done from WedgeWorks 3D Mariner's Compass by Cheryl Phillips and the tool is included in the book. Of course now that I've reread what I wrote, I wonder if it is the same person/people.

That is a beauty! I love the fabrics you chose, the two plainish ones tone so perfectly with the middle one. Your embellishment idea is great, can't wait to see the finished piece. :-D

Wow, that's great!

Beautiful job! I like the pattern. Thank you for sharing it.

Beautiful.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Wow...your compass is very very nice! Great color choices. I just went to the website and they have some beautiful patterns. I just might give their patterns a try. Making a Mariner's compass is on my "bucket" list. So is a Bargello and I see they have a pattern for that also. And the Spicy Tablerunner I have seen made up and wondered about the pattern. Thanks for posting!!!!

I have that same 3D pattern, just not time to do it yet. Yours is beautiful and now I really am inspired to get going on it. Thanks for sharing and giving me a jump start.

Fabulous-thanks for the info on the pattern. Hard to believe you made it that quickly

Beautiful job and colors!

That's beautiful, and thanks for sharing pattern info.

That is absolutely beautiful. Colors are awesome. I just ordered the pattern. Thank you.

Fabulous! Have done a Quiltsmart Mariners Compass which was super easy / newbie friendly but this looks doable as well. The website has a short video demonstrating the technique. Very nice.

Ditto!

Absolutely gorgeous. Your colors are great. I have wanted to do a Mariner's Compass and the quilt shop I go to is having a class but it won't work with my schedule so I'll have to go look at the pattern and see if I can figure it out myself.

Waiting to see more pictures
