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?! :silly:

I like the look of the one piece spikes in the background spikes. I think I might try that. Right now this project is on the back burner while I help a friend finish
a quilt in a real hurry. But most got the mariner compass posts have ben done in a day or two, and we have a whole month. Not too worried about getting behind.
I was trying to remember what % size you are making. Looks like your compass is about 9 1/4". HelenW

nhbaskets, Great looking compass. Have you auditioned it by laying it on the background fabric. Really helps to see if all the colors work well together.

I’m thinking I should use some type of stabilizer under the linen. Any suggestions? ~CaroleCarole B. aka nhbaskets

It would probably show or feel weird if you just did it under some of the appliques, because it would need to be at least slight bigger than that what you are stitching. I use Sulky
Tear Easy , on a lot of the stuff I stitch that needs tear away. It is described on the roll as a soft lightweight tear away stabilizer. I get it at the big box store Joanns. Maybe some other people will give their opinions on this topic. HelenW

I've done paper piecing for a few years now and especially love FP FPP, but this was my 1st Mariners Compass. I have a few tweaks to make before I call it done so it's still a work in progress. B)
I love every bit of this pattern so far and so appreciate Barbara and all the rest of the team`s help!-dena
