Did you stitch down the points? I am doing 4 compasses in a diamond shape, for my sailor's quilt. He wanted the points secured and 4 ships wheels and 4 anchor quilted into the squared off corners of the quilt. I used blues and a maroon paisley with light tan background. I had a problem getting the center points to meet, so just used a circle of the same color in the center. Mine was from the "Wedgeworks II book"
