Beautiful, I understand the Mariner's Compass is a tough one. How do you get all the little points to allign?

Oh... and very carefully is not an answer.

LOL - I use sewing-line templates to draw the seam lines on the back of each fabric piece and assemble it in a style similar to what they use in the Fons and Porter book: Quilters Complete Guide.

You can see in the picture that after I have sewn it into a big circular quilt top, I still have to applique it onto a background square. I use the iron to crease the square into crosswise and diagonal quarters and pin the circle to that, aligning the longest points to the creases. When I am done with the applique, I will press out those creases.

Center the picture in the middle of the screen. Then scroll up and down on it at various speeds and watch the animation. Too much fun here! :mrgreen:
