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