I agree that Carol Doak is the BEST teacher of Paper Piecing ever...,however you simply must see the Mariner's Compass designs of Judy Mathieson. Do a Google Images search to see her works.

There is an awesome Mariner's block here on the board...it is in with the 2007 BOM's :wink: Our board member Tim shared it with all of us :D:D:D

You print up the size you want on your printer, and away you go. Makes tons of accurate HST's very quickly (the usual methods are tedious).

I put the completed HST's in a drawer till I have tons then I free design with them on the design wall. Also fab for making sawtooth borders. |
Thank you for reawakening this old thread! I have a friend who is not very tech-savvy, she has been looking for a mariner's compass pattern. I'll show this one to her.
