Do you love the quilt or have you ever thought of quilting?  If yes than continue to read.  I have always wanted to learn how to quilt something nice, but always thought it is difficult and very time consuming, so i never pursued it.  I recently was offered to review the Mariner’s Compass Quilts: Solid & Split Point Patterns book and I was quite impressed with the step by step guide and instructions.

Whether you are beginner or experience quilter you will definitely like this book.  It is basically shows you new patterns and shapes for the traditional  Mariner’s Compass quilt motif.  It allows you to use ovals pattern shape instead of the traditional round pattern shape.  What I like about this book it shows you different methods of using various shapes (whether you want to use the round or oval) it gives you the option to choose.  Great right!  Other tips it provides are the following: Discover how to eliminate the curved edge of the oval and replace it with eye-catching block shapes, including the hexagon, rectangle, and diamond. Each of the eight different patterns is provided in two sizes. Each of the eight different patterns is provided in two sizes, 5″ x 8″ and 6″ x 10″, and has three different variations: Solid Points, Split Points, and Solid and Split Points.

One of my favorite part is the center piece of the quilt.  When you look at most quilts they tend to be in various pieces, now this shows you have to applique the center piece instead sewing all pieces together to form the pattern.  I definitely like that idea.  They will even give you all in the information as for as what materials are needed to complete your finished quilt.  Really easy to follow and very detailed.

I definitely recommend Mariner’s Compass Quilts: Solid & Split Point Patterns book for anyone who is interested in quilting or you can also give it to someone as a Christmas gift.  A book to treasure for years. You can also find it at amazon as well.
