4.0 out of 5 starsMethod that Makes Mariner's Compass Doable!
By J. Olsen on May 12, 2011
Format: Paperback
Long have I admired the Mariner's Compass from afar! Years ago at the home of a relative who is a master quilter, I saw the Mariner's Compass block she was in the process of creating using the foundation paper piecing method. It was so striking in appearance that I immediately made a mental note that someday I was going to learn to make that pattern. The more experienced I became as a quilter the more I realized what that would involve and the less I thought I could really do it.

When the local quilt shop starting advertising a class based on this book, Mariner's Compass Quilts: Setting a New Course, I vacillated for a couple of weeks as to whether or not I thought I could actually make such a thing. I'm here to tell you that it is very doable for an intermediate quilter. I think it still would be a daunting task for the average beginner, but I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the compass went together with sharp points and no tearing away of paper foundations and thus no tiny stitch length making unpicking difficult. Author Judy Mathieson has developed a new way to use freezer paper as your foundation without actual sewing to the paper. It is very effective and faster than I ever dreamed. After a two hour class this morning and another 2-3 hours on my machine at home I have completed the compass and started work on surrounding it with a circle of flying geese units using the same method. I am thrilled with the result! I keep looking at my Mariner's Compass in awe thinking, "I really made that."

I actually went into the class thinking this may be the only Mariner's Compass I ever make in my life. Honestly, it was so much easier than I imagined that I am eager to make more.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMariner's Compass Quilts: Setting a New Course
By Maggie on November 16, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I just took a class at the 2007 Houston Quilt Festival w/Judy Mathieson learning the paper piecing technique taught in this book. While tricky and a bit more involved than traditional PP, the results are just as good and you don't have to pick tiny pieces of paper out of your blocks/quilts when you're finished. Judy is a wonderful teacher (take a class when you have the opportunity) and this is truly an advance in paper piecing.

5.0 out of 5 starsNew Patterns for Mariner Compass Quilts
By Scrappy dog on August 22, 2006
Format: Paperback
Judy Mathieson has designed a new way of paper piecing the Mariner's Compass pattern; no paper to tear away! It's a great project-oriented book, one that most intermediate quilters that are ready for a new challenge will enjoy.

This book contains all the patterns you will need for making many Mariners Compass blocks. I really liked this book because it has clear directions and lots of photos.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis was my first paper piecing book....
By D. Paukstys on August 23, 2009
Format: Paperback
I saw Judy on an episode of Simply Quilts, thought her freezer paper piecing idea was simple, bought this book and dived in.
When other quilter friends saw my finshed project, they thought I was crazy for doing a mariner's compass but with Judy's method it was easy.
I had never paper pieced before, nor seen it done, so I had no preconceived ideas that it should be difficult.
Since then I taught my mother and a friend using Judy's method and they were thrill that they could get such fine points and perfect seam matching.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Quilting Book I Own
By Carolyn Kendall on October 31, 2008
Format: Paperback
I have wanted to make Mariner's Compass and New York Beauty blocks but, although an experienced quilter, I felt that these would be far too difficult. Judy Mathieson's book changed my mindset! With the aid of this wonderful detailed book I now have the confidence to tackle both these blocks and be assured of success.
