Needing directions?

I've been making up samples for a forthcoming class on Mariner's Compass, and had a successful result.  I used the pattern and method in Judy Matheison's book, and found both straightforward and clear.

 

The 16 point compass is easy enough, once you're familiar with paper piecing, so this should go down well.  (After the recent class where we made feathered stars, this should be a piece of cake!  And just in case anyone should feel insecure about tackling this one, I have an easy-peasy option.

 

 

This little cutie is pretty straightforward, especially if you have something interesting in the centre.
