    Why Buy From Miss Marples Craft

    Vintage Compass 62" x 62 "

    Vintage Compass paper piecing quilts are beautiful and intricate designs, often featuring compass or star-like patterns that require precise piecing. These quilts are created using a technique known as paper piecing, where fabric pieces are sewn onto a paper pattern to ensure accuracy and detail.

    Key Elements of Vintage Compass Paper Piecing Quilts

    1. Pattern and Design: The compass or star pattern is central, often radiating from a central point with sharp, precise points.
    2. Paper Piecing Technique: Fabric pieces are sewn directly onto a paper template, which guides the quilter to achieve precise angles and seams.
    3. Fabric Selection: Typically, a mix of vintage and reproduction fabrics are used to give the quilt an authentic antique look.
    4. Color Scheme: Traditional color schemes include rich, deep tones and contrast colors to highlight the intricate design.
    5. Quilting Style: Hand quilting or machine quilting can be used, with designs that complement the compass pattern.
