5.0 out of 5 stars New Patterns for Mariner Compass Quilts, August 22, 2006

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.

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.

Personally I love these patterns. The layout of the directions make it simple to make all types of different variations. If Mariner's compasses are your favorite, then buy this!
