njasprt OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 14	The background behind the houses is from Studio37 fabrics and is called Fade Out by Laura Berringer (Marcus fabrics). I have had it in my stash for a while and couldn't find more online except for quilt backing, which has the same pattern but larger scale. So, my outer ring is going to have the larger scale background because I don't have enough of the original piece.

After reading some of the replies here on the forum, I measured my compass, and I’m concerned it may be too small. My printer wasn’t off, it may be how I trimmed... I’ll wait for the road sections and if it doesn’t fit, I’ll just have to remake it.

Remember too the seams will take up some space. Everything is beautiful!

My compass and houses on my design wall waiting for the next episode.
I did have trouble with the compass, the dark pointed segments were fine but pale ones were going to lose their points. I tried a second time but if anything they were worse, in the end I traced a new pattern (the first one was printed), folded it on the lines exceedingly carefully and the new ones were fine.
My compass is the exact size - phew!!

BethBell, I love your fancy compass. Did you fussy cut fabric or add more lines on the pattern? What is the diameter as it is?
I would probably adjust the road width, rather than a complete redo. But if you do a complete redo you have a beautiful compass that you can use in an project. HelenW
