Moon Glow is the quintessential JB quilt. I think it's her most famous.

While she hand pieces EVERYTHING, I personally wouldn't go near the Mariner's Compass by hand.
So, no need for the perfect piecer tool.

If you can get the foundations for paper-piecing, you've just saved yourself a lot of trouble. And since it's really only those 2 blocks in different color combinations, it's not that difficult. Do a practice block of the compass with other fabrics just to get the hang of it if it's your first time.

JB quilts look awesome because of her genius working with value and color placement.

She could even make a D9P look awesome. ;-)

Here's the link in case a reader is not familiar with the quilt:

And not that I begrudge her one penny, but Moon Glow kits surely paid for a ton of landscaping of her beautiful gardens. ;-) I'm sure she thanks every one of you that bought the kit.
