Very fancy shmancy

Foundation piecing can be a bit time intensive, but the results are wonderful. I like to use it for particularly tricky blocks - and circles certainly fit that category!

sewkalico said...

Ooh, I like your paper-piecing project, although it does look rather tricky!!

Lynn said...

I really admiring your tackling foundation piecing and a mariners compass at that!

Cathy said...

Impressive! I admire your patience!!

Parsley said...

I'm loving it...Mariner's Compass is right up there at the top of my list of favourites...you are making me want to do one...I have only ever made one Mariner's Compass block 4 1/2' square traditionally hand pieced to go in the centre of a miniature for a challenge project, I've never tried it the foundation piecing way...another one to add to the list of wants...

Rachaeldaisy said...

Your compass is coming along beautifully!! Lovely flower photo, it's great seeing all the spring flowers coming into bloom!

Valda Mason said...

Very interested in your mariner's compass, great idea of paper piecing. will have to try sometime. Love the flowers, mine have died long ago in the drought times.

My head hurts just looking at that! I'd have NO idea how to do it!

Carole said...

Purtry! Lovely block! Ya know, Ricky Tims Stable Stuff would work great for that and you do not remove the foundation. Paper piecing drives me nuts! Remove the paper creates a mess, and I do not like to clean up messes. So the foundation stuff works great for me! ;)
