Happycamperx, both my Month 2 blog, released January 25, and the video on Making the Mariners Compass, available with the pattern, clearly say this is a 14” finished Compass. And the cover of the Month 2 pattern shows it is a 14” finished Compass.
I posted this on the Forum January 25 to let everyone know Month 2 was up and How To Be Successful:
https://thequiltshow.com/forum/bom-2021-color-my-world/9473-month-2-mariner-s-compass-is-up#154050
The blogs and videos are intended to supplement the pattern written by Wendy Williams. They provide a lot of additional information. That is all I can do to help everyone be successful.
The 1” scale box is crucial for paper piecing.

I did watch the video and read the info. Is my problem I did foundation paper piecing instead of the freezer paper method? My mariners circle was 13 rather then 14 and I need to figure out why before I try to redo. My square measured an inch as it was stated. I am frustrated and don’t know what I did wrong.

Happycamperx, either paper foundation method will work. Measure the paper wedges when you print them again to be sure the longest point, F, is 7” finished. Then if you sew the wedges together with an accurate 1/4” seam the compass will be 14” finished. Check after each seam to be sure your seam allowance is accurate.

into the seam allowance that means the tips of the points will be cut off when you sew the compass to the road section. HelenW
My guess is that your bottom piece is shifting while you sew. Make sure your match point are pinned or dab of glue.

Happycamper, Sorry to hear you are struggling with this project. I cannot provide you with any help, as I’m a newbie, but wanted to pass along the finished size of the compass is shown on the cover of the instructions and is 14”. Hang in here.

VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER this note from Barbara's blog:
14. The finished size of this Mariner's Compass is 14". That means the Compass with seam allowances should measure 14.5" now.

Thank you for all of your help. Before I go any farther I am thinking I should measure my houses to make sure they are the right size, as I did those the same way. Where is the finished size of house 1 and 2 posted? I have looked and I am not finding it.
Also from reading all of your comments, are you saying I should rip out wedges of what I have, take the paper off and resew? Or would it be better to start over?

that all the ripping might cause bias edges to stretch out of shape. That is not going to fix the fact the circle will be too small even if you get it perfect. I think I would just
start over. HelenW

I understand the finished block should be 14.5 inches, mine has finished closer to 15". I checked my templates and appear to be printed correctly using the 1" scale block, my seems are 1/4" but maybe to scant, so should I start again or will I be able to use this one? I am worried this will mess up the next step, and if I make another from start will I end up short of fabric?

The small houses should be close to 10.875"--11" tall, in the center, from raw edge to raw edge.
You need to start over with patterns that are the correct size. You said F measured 6.5", giving you a 13" finished compass.
