Mariner's Compass and Project Linus

In between distractions of different types, I have finally completed my Mariner's Compass quilt. I am quite pleased with the end result. It is by far the most challenging of any project I have done to date, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed making it. Paper piecing and I have become great friends. It went together with less difficulty than I had thought.

I also finished another Project Linus quilt. I am quite hooked on making the quilts for those little (and not so little ones) in need of comfort.

    Donna - You are so talented. I love the compass - and I think it would make a grand retirement gift LOL!!!!! I hope to try my hand at paper piecing soon. It was so easy with Dee right beside me to show me what to do!

    Again I'll just say it is AWESOME!! And I have a great idea. Why don't you go ahead and send it out this way (to me) and I'll make sure that Jacquie gets it once she retires. It would be kinda like leap-frogging. Of course I would send it on! ;) Of course I would! heehee

    It's fabulous and should get a place of honor at your house, so don't listen to the others suggestions. Lol. I also like your PL quilt. I'm liking Nine Patches more and more as time goes. Like with Log Cabin there are endless possibilities.
