Paper Piecing Monday

Welcome to part 12 of paper piecing Monday. My husband asked me how many stars I am going to make for this quilt, he was a little scared I was not going to stop!. I decided that 20 was the number to aim for. It will make a 4 block x 5 block quilt which will be a nice size for some kid.

This week I have one of the last compass squares from Quilting on the Square.

The paper piecing pattern can be found here Block_9_Compass_of_Many_colors.

I changed the pattern a little, choosing to use the stripped fabric instead of using another lot of background fabric. I wanted to try and get a star that was a little different from some of the others I had done.

The pattern involves 80 pieces of fabric made into 8 triangles. The finished block is 12 inches (like all the blocks I have posted so far). I threw the stars together to show you a very rough work in progress shot. I am not sure that it all works together yet, but hope as more blocks are added it will start to look more cohesive.

oh my goodness ~ this is so beautiful ~ love turquoise and red together1

I love each and every one of the gorgeous blocks you have created! I am looking forward to seeing the completed quilt top. It makes me wish I knew how to paper piece! Really amazing!

I love all of them, They work out great together – very complementary. Wow 80 pieces…now that sounds like a puzzle 🙂

These are beautiful!!! I love love love the color scheme and all the different stars.

Hi, I just found your blog and love this series! You are making a beautiful quilt. I wonder how long the quilting on the square blocks are going to be up on their site…

I was not sure how long Quilting on the Square would keep the patterns up so I have made sure that a PDF of them all is on my site. That way no matter what, people who want them can get them.
