Mattie Rhoades' Quiltsmart 48-inch Mariner's Compass I put together last weekend; finally got to bind it yesterday. I made it to hang in my upstairs landing once we finish painting the walls. Looks like I should have ironed the wall-hanging before taking photograph... oh well!

If you haven't tried Mattie's patterns, I highly recommend them.
In the past I have made small mariner's compasses (pp for clothing, handbags, and small wall-hangings) but decided to try this when I saw the size was perfect for the landing. I'm glad I did.

My youngest son and his fiancé asked that I make them a very large lone star quilt. So I will use Mattie's 58-inch lone star pattern as the quilt center. They'll be visiting this weekend so I plan to get their color choices before they head back home to MA. Then my fun begins!

It's beautiful. Love the bright colors.

Stunning.....looking forward to seeing the lonestar also

that is absolutely lovely - doesn't even look as if its made from fabric

Beautiful, just beautiful

It is just beautiful.

Amazing, love it. Good work.

I agree. very nice colors! :thumbup:

Thank you so much for posting this. I saw Mattie's pattern some time ago then forgot where...and forgot her name! This is what I have been looking for. It's beautiful.

That is so pretty. Can't wait to see the Lonestar!
