WedgeWorks II, The 3-D Mariner's Compass

Rating:
Summary: You can't miss with precise directions and tools too!
Review: Cheryl Phillips' WedgeWorks II 3-D Mariner's Compass is a book with concise directions and the tools are even included! The illustrations show exactly where to place the tools on the fabric and how to assemble the pieces precisely. My first 3-D compass block was assembled with the most accurate result I could have wished for! Cheryl's book describes an innovative, folded triangle method to achieve a traditional mariner's compass quilt block. It is soooooo easy and fun...the results are quite impressive! This book is a "must have" for every quilter's library.

Summary: It was much easier than I thought!
Review: I have considered myself to be an intermediate quilter, not highly advanced. I was afraid of trying this, but am involved in a family quilt project and this compass was "assigned" to me.
I worked on it and found the instructions made perfect sense. Once I figured out the technique, I was able to do it! I'm impressed!
My compass block looks great, lies flat and I am proud of it!

Review: I made a traditional Mariner's Compass block. It took me two all day classes and many nights at home too. It was pretty, but I vowed never to make another.
Then I bought Cheryl's book with her plastic wedge templates.
Her directions are clear and it's easy to cut exact with her templates. These are really big squares too--about 20 inches and very suitable for a center medalion.
It was actually fun to make this Mariner's Compass.
I'm glad I bought this book and I'll be making more of this pattern.

Review: I made a traditional Mariner's Compass block. It took two full days of class and much homework to finish. It was pretty, but I vowed I'd never make another.
Then I bought Cheryl's book. The plastic templates are sturdy and
I got a very even cut with my rotary cutter. It was fun to make
this Mariner's compass and it turned out beautiful. Her directions are clear and the templates are exact. This makes a really large block, about 20 inches, so it is suitable for a center medalion. I'm glad I bought this book and I'll be making more Mariner's compass.
