Finding the way.

Finding the way is now well on its way. The little diamond blocks which makes up the frame around the center mariners compass need fifty two of these little blocks.

Next is the mariners compass blocks, all foundation/paper pieced. Decided to draft the pattern for this one. This happen in November last year and then everything just stalled. It was on the cutting table since then, the red triangle squares for February is done for RSC24.

So onto all the segments for the five mariner compass blocks. They have been worked on this past week. Decided to try sewing the circles onto parchment paper to turn the edges ofthe circles under.

Was not sure if it will work. After ripping the paper back to almost on the edge and fingerpressing it on the edge, it worked.

Took it to the ironingboard and gently pressed it flat, before ripping the parchment paper off.

Now for the part which will take time and a pair of tweezers, pulling out all the paper. Yes, I know the paper could have been ripped of first. However this did not happen, so it will happen over the course of the next week or two.
