Yes. All of the colors will be in the quilt. Thanks for your comments. -
I enjoyed using the freezer paper method on the compass. I struggled with the houses and went to paper. Glad there are several ways to accomplish this project.Comment

This is my second Mariner's Compass that I digitized in my Bernina embroidery software and pieced in the hoop--just to see if I remembered how to do it. It still has to be done in wedges and then sewn together. Now I'm not sure which one I will use.

Libby, Very creative.The red and black with the light background is striking. I am trying to remember the colors in the other one. Could you pot a picture of both and the houses near them? That is how I audition ideas. Looks great and I commend you for going out of the box with your technique. HelenWHelenWComment

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. HelenW[/quote]
HelenW, I just removed the center line from the background spikes and added more lines to the template for the striped fabric and the center star. Nothing is fussy cut... yet. I don’t think I’ll need to fussy cut anything for this BOM. The diameter right now is spot on 14 inches. I may redo, or just make the adjustment in the road. I’m thinking maybe some pretty little wildflowers along the curb!Beth Bell LavoieComment

This is Awesome! So, if it was in the hoop, does this mean the compass was appliqued down, or is this just a screenshot? And it will be done in the hoop in wedges? I admire your knowledge & creativity in being able to do this. I'm using Tim Holtz's fabric for my roads (looks like what you used in wedges). Thx.Originally posted by "Libbi" post=154594This is my second Mariner's Compass that I digitized in my Bernina embroidery software and pieced in the hoop--just to see if I remembered how to do it.

Started to stitch my compass onto the wholecloth linen background last night with high hopes of getting lots done today. What is that about best laid plans?
