Mariner's Compass Blocks
 

I joined a paper piecing club in hopes of learning how to do paper piecing so that one day I can do one of the Judy Niemeyer quilts. I got off to a rough start, but once I got my questions answered, I hit the ground running! These are the first two blocks I did for the Mariner's Compass Collection. I am having SO much fun with this! I think I really like paper piecing! :-) I can't wait to start the 3rd block!

Your blocks are beautiful :thumbup::thumbup:

I love your blocks. They are so colorful. I, too, got off to a rough start paper piecing and didn't finish the project nor did I try PP again. Good luck.

Beautiful Blocks--Be fun to see your quilt when they are all done. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Great job.

Those are lovely. I recently re-attempted paper piecing after a rough start several years ago. It's going much better this time, and I'm working on the Dancing with the Stars block of the month. Mariner's Compass was always on my wish list - maybe I'll take a look at this now that I can paper piece.

Beautiful blocks, I really like the first one best.

Do you have the "add a quarter" ruler. It is AWESOME... makes pp'ing so much easier.

Wow, what some beautiful blocks. Your quilt is going to be just out of this world

Beautiful. I love the fabric you chose. They sparkle

Your blocks are simply gorgeous. I love them. I've got to learn to paper piece.

Wow, those are really nice. I can't wait to see the finished project. Peggy

Blocks are very pretty!!

These are beautiful. I just learned how to pp and have started a New York beauty quilt. I avoided paper piecing for a long time and now I'm having a lot of fun doing it.

OMG, those blocks are superb. I love the Mariner's Compass, such a great design. Keep it up!

Those beautiful blocks are going to make a spectacular quilt! My DD has always lusted after Mariner's Compass quilts & I'm waaaaaaaaaay too dumb to make one. Maybe if I tried pp'ing the blocks... but mine woudld never in a million years looks half as fabulous as these do! Kudos!

Wow, they are beautiful!!!!

the blocks look great!!!!
Once I've started PP I was quickly addicted.........

Good job, they're sew pretty!

Absolutely gorgeous. Hope you'll post the quilt when it's finished. It's going to be a stunner.

You are off to a very good start.

Great job!

Well done!
Mariners Compass is my favourite block.
Guess who is too chicken to try it??

they are gorgeous!...

you're doing a great job. I want to do more paper piecing, find it realaxing

you did a wonderful job on the blocks pp is not hard

I love both of the blocks and paper piecing gives you those beautiful points. Wish I could do this but I have not had any luck. I will have to keep trying.
Thanks for sharing.

You got off to a great start . Such beautiful colors. Can't wait to see the final project.

Great job. I keep thinking I wan to try paper piecing, but guess I am intimidated by how hard it looks

The club you joined, is it an internet club? I might be interested in that. Crafty has a PP online course you can take. I am taking it. PP always confused me too but this teacher shows you in such a way that you don't understand how you missed the first time someone tried to show you.

Those are so beautiful! Great job!

Very pretty blocks and they have great contrast. Yes, paper piecing is lots of fun!

Very nice blocks.....I can't wait to see what you end up with!

Your blocks are beautiful. Learning to PP can be tough. I know it was for me too. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

I pieced a Mariner's Compass block earlier this Spring. I realized if I took my time, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Your blocks are beautiful!

WOW. Your blocks are beautiful.

Me neither. I love the results you can get from PP but not doing it.....like you, I took a class and did it in class and never again. Something about that reversing thing, I just can't wrap my brain around it.

Lovely just lovely. Your colors are fabuloius.

Oh your hooked now, no turning back, thank you for sharing Have a Blessed day Ellen
