ames OFFLINE Posts: 9 Thank you received: 42	Mariners compass complete! That’s was quick and fun! I haven’t used my compass colors in my small houses yet and I’m really indecisive. Should I use them in my first circle of houses, or just my second circle of houses to make the compass really pop, or, neither circles or both?!

Something that helped me with fabric placement for foundation piecing. The first picture shows how to place the background using the foundation paper folded over. I use he folded portion to judge where to put my fabric—if you can see fabric opbeyond the paper, it will cover the area when sewn. I left some of it overhang in the seam allowance for the picture only. The second shows the block sewn. The third shows placing of the outside large wedge. The fourth is that wedge sewn.

I spent today making this compass - using the colors in the pattern kit. I struggled on the outer points. I suspect a tiny bit more attention to pressing when I made the sections would have helped. Indeed, the edge stitch foot makes it so much easier. I actually had to go buy one to upgrade to the right foot for my current machine. Well worth the price!
