Yes, the mariner's compass was all hand pieced as well :mrgreen: I get more hand sewing done these days than time at my machine :thumbdown: but at least I'm still quilting :thumbup:

Was it hard to find just the right shades of the colors you used? You did an excellent job of picking out those colors!

Karen Coombs has a range of fabrics called Shade Cascade, it has 4 shades of the one colour in stripes across the width of the fabric. I used some of those, and the rest were made up from bits and pieces I had, a mix of fossil ferns and batiks.
I just fluked the colours, I didn't have alot to choose from and fabric is ridiculously expensive here so I make sure I only buy just what I need and make do with what I have.

Love the colors making an optical illusion! Very nice. Your son should love it.

No not difficult. Those horrible Y seams are easy when you are hand piecing.

Make sure you STARCH, STARCH, STARCH :lol: and handle the fabric gently so it doesn't stretch on the bias.

I marked the 1/4" line around my pieces and stopped 1/4"from the edges which made sewing the Y seam easier.

I might try machine piecing one, but on the other hand I have run out of hand piecing projects so I might just have to make another by hand :mrgreen:
