My first Mariner's Compass
 

I like straight lines. I'm always tentative about going out of the graph lines. Recently, there was a contest listed for one quilt block. As I was the only entrant the contest did not come to fruition. Oh well. I had used that inspiration to try my first Mariner's compass block. It has been completed as a small wall hanging for me to contemplate at work. Hope you enjoy it!

That came out really pretty! Love the colors and the border fabric is luscious!!!

So pretty.

Love your colors you did a beautiful job!
