A Message from the Author The quilts featured in this book are ones that I have made over the last twelve years, ranging from a basic ‘flying geese’ pattern to the complicated quilts in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ series with their 128-point mariner’s compasses. I prefer the paper-piecing technique as it allows for greater precision.I hope that you will make all the projects featured in this book stage by stage and that by the time you get to the end, you will have a good understanding of a 128-point mariner’s compass. If you don’t do patchwork, I hope that you will still take pleasure in looking through thisbook and perhaps one day you will try and make one of my slightly crazy quilts and discover the joy that it can bring.Happy quilting, one and all!
