Katherine said "this is my version of a Mariners Compass quilt, Massachusetts circa 1840 from the Pilgrim/Roy collection. It was shown at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in 2014". If you have instagram and can look at Katherine's (@quiltkat) post she included a photo of her inspiration quilt. I cannot link to it from here.
Katherine had no pattern, so she drafted these blocks herself. We didn't want the quilting to be too heavy--and of course there should be feathers.
I was glad to borrow Katherine's photo, as the light was so poor the day I took photos, I got much better photos on the frame. My goal was to emphasize the circles of the compasses, and I was so glad to see that showed in Katherine's distance photo
I'm so glad I get to quilt for Katherine.
JUST amazingly beautiful and elegant!! perfect quilting!
