On Monday I went to a class with visiting Australian tutor, Chris Jurd. We spent the day making one big 18" Mariner's Compass block.
I'm really pleased with how my block turned out, especially as I made it all from stash!! I didn't have enough of my favourite green for the background, so Chris encouraged me to alternate it with another green and it's worked out well.
The fabrics I used were all left over from my Endless Lockdown quilt made back in 2020. The kit I had purchased was very generous with the fabrics, so I could make more Mariner's Compass blocks with different animal centres if I wish. The fabric was designed by Monika Fosberg for Anna Maria Horner's Conservatory Craft.
Here's some finished examples Chris showed us at the class. I'm not sure how I'm going to finish my block yet, or if I'm going to make more to make something bigger.
