Here is my mariners compass. Was really very easy. Don't be afraid to tackle it. It was fun to make.

This is so pretty. Is it paper pieced?

Beautiful, I watched a video on Kaye Wood tv, a lady doing a paperpieced mariners compass, simply beautiful, and looked so easy, no wonder their points look so good.

Your Mariners Compass is beautiful. I love the colors. Great job and thanks for sharing.

busygranny 03-11-2011 07:37 PM

No paper pieced. It's a pattern from Phillipps Fiber art. You need two special tools and they have a tutorial on their site on how to do it. You cut out the pieces and they get folded and sewed together. Sew perfect 1/4 " for the points of the stars and it turns out that way.

love it

LucyInTheSky 03-11-2011 08:53 PM

Wow, thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to check out the tutorial, especially if it's not paper pieced!

Did you have trouble fitting the round piece into the square? It looks difficult to me. And very pretty....good job!

Chay 03-12-2011 07:08 AM

Oh I love those crisp points! Nice work.

GramaLaura 03-12-2011 07:09 AM

LOVELY!!

busygranny 03-12-2011 07:35 AM

Had no trouble fitting the round piece into the square. It's 2 pieces and the pattern for it comes with the pattern. That's part of the perfect 1/4" seams that comes into the pattern fitting together so easy. And that is what also gave me the perfect points. An easy fun pattern. Just go to Phillipps site and see how easy it is. I have a couple of their other patterns I am going to do. I love their patterns. It' a challenge to me to be able to do them.

They always looked hard to me. Yours is beautiful. Who knows, with your encouragement I just may decide to give it a try.
