Great job. I love the way mariner compass quilts look. Maybe someday I'll get up the nerve to try one myself.

You know, I'm a total noob, so if I can figure it out, I'm sure you can too... I didn't even have a pattern for this, I figured it out pretty much on my own! :)

bluebird 12-11-2008 07:15 PM
That is beautiful, great colors and great work on a difficult pattern. Will be gorgeous however you quilt it.

sandpat 12-12-2008 06:16 AM
Oh, great job! I love your circle of flying geese. Now I'm curious about what you are gonna do with the quilting. Make sure to show us!

bearpaw 12-12-2008 09:22 AM
Wow! Looks great! How did you do the circular flying geese? Are they paper pieced?

Baren*eh*ked_canadian 12-12-2008 10:47 AM
yep, paper pieced. It was pretty complicated to figure out since I'd never done any before, and these had to follow the same curve as my compass. It's far from perfect, but if I had to do it again, my flying geese would be much better.

What if I did something like this for the quilting, trace the circles onto the back and stitch along the lines....

MsSage 12-12-2008 10:58 AM
WOOOOOWWWWW I am in awe

sandpat 12-12-2008 03:55 PM
Melanie I like those circles for your quilting design, however I also think that with the compass....its sooo beautiful, sometimes it just makes it sing when you quilt in the ditch on that design., then do something spectacular outside the circle of geese. Just MHO...whatever you decide, it will be fantastic I'm sure!

Marcia 12-12-2008 07:19 PM
You have done an awesome job--no newbie here.

Janstar 12-12-2008 07:45 PM
Really awesome Melanie! You done good.
