BethBellLavoie OFFLINE Posts: 10 Thank you received: 75	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. Attachment 50439A36-797D-4845-A260-05EAEB026A59.jpeg not found

Sugiee OFFLINE Posts: 4 Thank you received: 4	That looks like a good idea not to cut the background. I haven't done it yet but I know I'm not always perfectly accurate so like to have some fudge room.

My third (and final

) attempt. I'm finally happy with the compass. I was not very good with the "sew close to the fold" method, so ended up going back to the old paper piecing method, sewing though the lines.. Not sure where I was going wrong, but I couldn't get the points with the fold method.. I have been inspired to do better by so many others' beautiful work - I will give it a go again on other piece in the future.
