A quilt made for a firefighter
 
2 Attachment(s)
I recently made this quilt for a friend who used to be a firefighter. He likes Mariners Compass and originally came from Ohio. So I made the Mariners Compass and Ohio Stars in this quilt. The Mariners Compass was the first time I tried. I don't think it is something I will do in the near future. Too much of work. :)

Thanks for looking!

Very, very nice. I am sure he will love it.

Fabulous work, though! At least you can say you've done it once, and well!

Your piecing was so precise that I thought the first picture was of a painting. What a beautiful job.

That's a great quilt and I applaud that you tackled the Mariners Compass. Still too intimidating for me.

I love Mariners Compass too. Your quilt is stunning!

EvelynJ 07-18-2012 10:12 PM

Wow, this is a beauty. Your Compass is amazing. I'm not near brave enough to try that yet. My French Braid is still in progress; I can't even imagine trying a Compass.

Awesome quilt! And yes, it does look like a lot of work, but will likely be very much appreciated. Great job!

stunning quilt...you compass is great,well done...

Your MC block in this quilt came out perfect so your hard work paid off. Really the first one is the hardest. I used Judy Mathieson's technique for making mine and I didn't find it too terribly bad. It is still my most favorite of quilt block patterns so I will definitely be making more in the future. Great job on your quilt.

wonderful, great points, love the color combo, great job.

Thanks for the info. I will try a different approach next time. :)

Very beautiful! My husband is a retired firefighter whom worked for 32 years on a paid fire dept. He keeps asking for me to make him a quilt. You just gave me a great idea!
