An easily understood book with inspiring examples,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mariner's Compass Quilts (Paperback)
This books covers the lotwith regard to designing a Mariner's Compass quilt. The author uses examples of her own work as well as others. There are excellent instructions on how to create your own quilt using a variety of piecing techniques. The examples given cover a range of colour themes. One of my favourite books.

This review is from: Mariner's Compass Quilts (Paperback)
Here the author stretches to show you repeatedly how to break down what appears to be a difficult project into a very approachable project. This book is both a technique book as well as a project book. You CAN complete this project from all that is provided in this book. Take the time to study the examples and question why those choices were made. This book has volumes to teach you as well as aid your growth as an accomplished quilter. There is such joy in mastering points and excelling in this art of quilting and this book is a marvelous practical gift to yourself.

AMAZING,
By Miriam (NYC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mariner's Compass Quilts (Paperback)
I have developed an affinity for Mariner's Compass quilts, due in part to the quilts shown in this book. I kept renewing it in the library, and finally bought it.
I also purchased WedgeworksII - Mariner's Compass in conjunction with this book, but will be returning this small patternbook which exclusively uses piecing from enclosed templates(not as accurate or beautiful as the quilts in Mathieson's book). Actually, Mathieson does offer template piecing as an option, and she even reviews a freezer paper method. I look forward also to drafting my own mariner's compasses with help of chapter 2. I only wish there were more quilts for inspiration - even though there are plenty, I can't get enough!
