Originally posted by "CJaneAgar" post=154213I 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?
You have nothing to lose in taking this one apart. And if you start over with all new fabric you should be all right with the background fabric--just save all the pieces you remove and all leftover pieces--there are lots of small pieces of background in the Tall Buildings and Little Houses to come. The solids will not run out and even if they did, you can easily add a different solid.

Barbara, I went back to measure my mariner's compass ; it was 14 5/8" in diameter. Can an 1/8 of an inch make that much difference in the way the points turned out? There must be something else that I am doing wrong but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Here is my mariner's compass. I am worried that some points will be lost when I sew it onto the next section using a 1/4" seam. Some points are ok ; others are not

Happycamperx, Some foundation paper shrinks when it is pressed with a hot iron. If that's the case increase the document slightly when printing. If you didn't prewash your fabric it could also shrink. If you plan to remake the block leave extra background fabric at the outside edge and don't trim this edge until after the units are sewn together. Then use a circle marker to mark a circle with a 7 1/4" radius. Some of your points may be floating but that's better than having them chopped off.

you might need to do some ripping. HelenW

Originally posted by "LizAnderson" post=154224i have not started the compass yet. You mentioned the bias edges and to be careful, would you recommend maybe stay stitching them to make sure they do not stretch? Looking forward to sewing this.

Originally posted by "PaolaRB" post=154227Yes, HelenW I mention the point problem in my question. What I don’t know is why the points turned out this way so that when I make a second mariner’s compass I won’t end up with the same results.
the problem is in the seams that connect the units. Give me a day, and I will try to get you the answer.
I put the pictures on the show and tell mariners compass. The seams are too narrow. Go look and see. Hope this helps. HelenW

I appreciate all your info and tips. I reprinted the papers. I did notice they printed much better directly from the computer rather then making copies from the first. I used a laser jet printer. I sewed my mariners compass over this weekend. All is good and it measures the right size. Attached.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this tip, or not, but I store my BOM projects in large clean pizza boxes. The Mariners compass will be stored in a large pizza box, and it will be safe there until time to sew it in the quilt top. I keep my houses in another large pizza box. The boxes are easy to label and stack.
