    Amazing quilt block. The fabrics, the detailed explanation made it much more doable than any I have seen.

    Superb video. Your voice, easy-to follow sequence, non-bewildering camera angles, all of it--just perfect--gave me confidence to sew this block and thank you for the lead to the template set!

    Ironically, I am sitting here working on my son's Mariner's Compass quilt that was supposed to be a gift for his high school graduation. (He graduated in 2001. 😆) Laura, only you could make the Mariner's Compass block seem so doable! I paper-pieced my blocks, and they are nowhere near as accurate as yours done with templates! Thanks for your calm and soothing videos. You make us feel like we can sew anything!

    This is not only a very timely video for me but also incredibly well done. Best of all, thanks for introducing me to these templates. I have wanted to make a mariners compass with some gorgeous nautical fabric I have collected for such a quilt. Again thanks and appreciate all of your videos.

    Saw a Mariner's compass at a quilt show, a full size quilt. I could not stop staring at it it was so perfectly done. Amazing skill it must have taken to piece it.

    Beautiful fabric choices for the Mariners Compass. I have never done that one but do love it. I would love to make one large enough for under my Christmas tree omitting the middle circle. Hmmm, wonder if that is doable for my very wide tree?

    Thank you for the video. The ruler would be great for people that don't like paper piecing. It looks very doable with the ruler that is being used, but I still prefer paper piecing. One section would be easy to do with fpp then join the sections together.

    Laura, I found this video a few minutes ago and ordered the kit on Amazon. I just love, love, love the fabrics that you used to make this mariners compass and as always your explanation of how to make it could not be easier. I love the colour coordination. Where did you got the fabrics from? I can see a king size quilt out of the fabrics. I love all your colour combinations that I've seen you use in your videos so far.

  • @veronicacuddy9164

    Hi Laura, love all your tutorials. Questions - Could I make this compass, make a circular back, sew all around, birth it, and then applique it onto a nautical quilt I am in the process of making. I would do mine in reds, whites and blues. Would it look okay in the center of a quilt which is all blocks and 4 patches?

    Hi, my name is Maria Venereo and I am watching you mariners compass video and I was wondering if you could help me.
    I need to make a King size quilt for my friends beach house and they are fisherman’s . I want to make one with a big compass in the center of the quilt. Do you have any suggestions on how to find or modify yours. I love it but I need a big pattern. If you can help me I will appreciate it immensely. Thank you for your time

    • @SewVeryEasy
      @SewVeryEasy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      to make this bigger you would need to make the blades longer. The points and the size (sidewise) will be the same just make it longer. Which will also make the center larger

    I do agree that would be great and I have suggested it on another video to Marti, however Laura's videos are so clear and she has little tips that are invaluable. There are a few double wedding ring videos but none that are straightforward enough for this poor quilter! My hopes rest on Laura.
