Mariners Compass

Learn how to make this impressive looking 32 point split compass. We will cover color selections, paper piecing, and curved piecing (setting your compass into the background fabric). We’ll also look at ways to use this fabulous centerpiece, either as part of a large project or something smaller.

You should finish a quarter of the compass during the day, and the remaining three quarters will go together very quickly.
