This project makes me happy -
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.SugieeComment

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.

Sosallap. There will be a road that goes between the compass and the first set of houses. Your compass looks great.Originally posted by "sosallap" post=154462My compass is finished! (I hope this all fits together, as the houses seem to make too big of a circle to fit around the compass.)
They will all fit together. HelenWComment

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. HelenWComment

BethBellLavoie - This is a beautiful compass.Comment

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!!Comment

Remember too the seams will take up some space.

Done with the Mariner's compass - I won't mention how many times I had to seam rip because of sewing together the wrong pieces even though I had them laid out in the right order!
