At last I felt I was ready to start the stars!! Looking at my overall quilt design, I decided to shade from dark purples to red purples to reds to red- orange. I was going to skip Mariners Compass Stars shading to Mariners Compass Stars since my sister wasn't a big fan of blue. It seemed like red was a good Mariners Compass Stars to start. Looking over her Mariners Compass Stars, she seemed to randomize the pie pieces a little more, but I decided to just use the same 8 fabrics for simplicity's sake. I followed a sketch Mariners Compass Stars p2 of the directions p84 in the book which suggested an assembly method. Mariners Compass Stars below. First I would sew together pieces E to Mariners Compass Stars a tiny point, then sew on pieces D to make a larger pie piece, then pieces F to the outside and finally sew the assembly onto a larger point G2 which I had previously made. That made a quarter star and I just had to Mariners Compass Stars together 4 quarters to make the inner star. I reasoned that assembling the outer star ring would be a lot like the 4 pointed Mariners Compass Stars, just more. Having it all figured out, I launched into it. Above layout, lights on left. Below detail layout, darks on left. Who knew? Not quite. The left sides of the points were dark and the rights light. Or was it the other way around? I'd made my 4-pointed arcs with the lights on the left and the darks on the right. How could I have made such a mistake? Then I looked again at her patterns. On p2 and on the front of the book, darks are on the Mariners Compass Stars on p4 of the directions p 87 in the bookthe layout shows darks on the right. I guess I used the layout for the Mariners Compass Stars. But I had already made freezer paper pieces, carefully reversing the dark and light on the shaded pattern pieces in the book since I would be pressing the paper to the wrong side. And I had, in an early flush of enthusiasm, already Mariners Compass Stars some pieces of fabric using the templates and they were now reversed. I couldn't waste those, could I? So I decided to leave the arcs and the stars as is, since the arcs in the finished Mariners Compass Stars snake through the stars and it would take a quilt judge to notice. I had decided to follow a suggestion earlier in the book on p 42 and make some points by sewing strips of fabric together and then cutting the points, saving having to sew the precise, symmetrical "dart" points. It worked, but I ended up wasting a lot of fabric since I could only cut 18 to 22 in strips from my fat quarters. I also ran into trouble with Y-seams in Mariners Compass Stars the small stars see below. I quickly abandoned this method and devised an easier method for assembling the large pointed arcs which I'll talk about later. I almost immediately realized that assembling the inner star as the layout suggested refer to picture above would require that I make 12 count'em, Mariners Compass Stars Y seams. I was no stranger to Y-seams, having made a huge lonestar medallion quilt with a border of smaller LeMoyne stars. But 12 per star? I may be skilled at it, but I'm not crazy. Nevertheless, for my first star I did make 8 Y-seams, as I had you guessed it already made 8 tiny "E" points and couldn't waste the fabric, could I? First, make freezer paper pieces by assembling pieces E left and righttwo symmetrical pieces D, Mariners Compass Stars an F and finally half a G2. Make 4 "left" hand pieces with a light F piece and a dark G2 piece, and 4 "right" hand patterns with a dark F piece and a light G2 piece. Photocopy a few extra paper piecesas it is helpful to sometimes use subsets of the pattern papers a right-handed D and E subset to go with the left-handed D, E, and F. I quickly abandoned any hope of using the tiny template pieces I had already cut out. I decided to cut oversize pieces and trim as I went, as is the classic method for paper piecing, also illustrated on p As Mariners Compass Stars got better at doing the piecing, I found I could use the fabric pieces left from the first piecing to make a second one as I cut rectangles and the piecing generated triangles. Except for D, which makes a pie-shaped piece. Sewing directions: Choose a left hand paper and crease along the E and D line on the left. If working with a virgin paper pattern it is helpful to crease along all sewing lines at this point. Choose a D fabric piece and a light E. Align the fabrics along the long edges and position them so when they are opened up that the faric covers the paper. With the iron, the corresponding paper lightly to the E fabric. Choose a dark F rectangle and line it Mariners Compass Stars with trimmed seam, ensuring that when opened it covers the F pattern. Insert pictures. Assemble another D square fabric and a dark E in a similar manner with a small pattern cut from another paper. Note that the pressed seam allownaces will be on top of one another, not nested. It is necesssary to press the seams away from the points to ensure sharp points. Peel off the bottom paper and save to be used again. Open up the seam and check for alignment Mariners Compass Stars make any adjstments now. When you are ssatisfied with your match, press the seam towards the dark E and lighlty press down the paper. Folding the paper back, sew along the crease. You now Mariners Compass Stars a Mariners Compass Stars hand eighth section. Make the Mariners Compass Stars hand section similarly, reversing lights and darks. Removing the paper helps prevent stiching through the pattern and ruining it for reuse. When you are satisfied with your point, press the seam towards the dark side. You now have Mariners Compass Stars completed quarter. Save all your used papers. As long as you don't stitch through the papers and rip them, or lose the narrow points, the plastic on the freezer paper lasts through quite a few ironings. At this point, I got very excited to make a finished large star. The small star was beautiful. All I had to do was sew the outer ring and sew them together. Leave off at making the four quarters. I am going to excise this last section and include some photos of the assembly in a future post. Posted by Ann Grant at AM.

A compass rosesometimes called a Mariners Compass Stars or rose of the windsis a Mariners Compass Stars on a compassmapnautical chartor monument used to display the orientation of the cardinal directions northeastsouthand west and their intermediate points. It is also the term for the graduated markings found on the traditional magnetic compass. Today, a form of compass rose is found on, or featured in, almost all navigation systems, including nautical chartsnon-directional beacons NDBVHF omnidirectional range VOR systems, global- positioning systems GPSand similar equipment. Linguistic anthropological studies have shown that most Mariners Compass Stars communities have four points of cardinal direction. The names given to these directions are usually derived from either locally-specific geographic features e. The ancient Greeks originally maintained distinct and separate systems of points and winds. The four Greek cardinal points arctosanatolemesembria Mariners Compass Stars dusis were based on celestial bodies and used for orientation. Nonetheless, both systems were gradually conflated, and wind names came eventually to denote cardinal directions as well. In his meteorological studies, Aristotle identified ten Mariners Compass Stars winds: two north-south winds Aparctias, Mariners Compass Stars and four sets of east-west winds blowing from different latitudes—the Arctic circle Meses, Thrasciasthe summer solstice Mariners Compass Stars Caecias, Argestesthe equinox Apeliotes, Zephyrus and the winter solstice Eurus, Lips. However, Aristotle's system was asymmetric. To restore balance, Timosthenes of Rhodes added two more winds to produce the classical wind rose, and began using the winds to denote geographical direction in navigation. Eratosthenes deducted two winds from Aristotle's system, to produce the classical 8-wind rose. The Romans e. SenecaPliny adopted the Greek wind system, and replaced its names with Latin equivalents, e. Septentrio, Subsolanus, Auster, Favonius, etc. Uniquely, Vitruvius came up with a wind rose. According to the chronicler Einhard c. Intermediate winds were constructed as simple compound names of these four e. However, Charlemagne did not invent the names of the points of the compass, which go back to Sanskrit and Ancient Greek ; for example the word 'east' is related to the Latin word ' aurora ' meaning 'dawn'. Thus there is a common source of the modern compass point names found in nearly all modern west European languages e. The following table gives a rough equivalence of the classical wind rose with the modern compass directions Note: the directions are imprecise since it is not Mariners Compass Stars at what angles the classical winds are supposed to be with each other; some have argued that they should be equally spaced at 30 degrees each; for more details, see the article on Classical compass winds. The "sidereal" compass rose demarcates the compass points by the position of stars in the night sky, rather than winds. Arab navigators in the Red Sea and the Indian Oceanwho depended on celestial navigationMariners Compass Stars using a point sidereal compass rose before the end of the 10th century. The other thirty points on the sidereal rose were determined by the rising and setting positions of fifteen bright stars. Reading from North to South, Mariners Compass Stars their rising and setting positions, these are: [9]. The western half of the rose would be the same stars in their setting position. The true position of these stars is only approximate to their theoretical equidistant rhumbs on the sidereal compass. Stars with the same declination formed a "linear constellation" or kavenga to provide Mariners Compass Stars as the night progressed. A similar sidereal compass was used by Polynesian and Micronesian navigators in the Pacific Ocean, although different stars were used in a number of cases, clustering around the East-West axis. In Europe, the Classical wind system continued to be taught in academic settings during the Medieval era, but seafarers in the Mediterranean came up with their own distinct 8-wind system. The exact origin of the mariner's eight-wind rose is obscure. Only two of its point names OstroLibeccio have Classical etymologies, the rest of the names seem to be autonomously derived. This suggests the mariner's rose was probably acquired by southern Italian seafarers not from their classical Roman ancestors, but rather from Norman Sicily in the 11th to Mariners Compass Stars centuries. The eight half-winds just combined the names of the two principal Mariners Compass Stars, e. Quarter-winds were more cumbersomely phrased, Mariners Compass Stars the closest principal wind named first and the next-closest principal wind second, e. Northeast by North. Boxing the Mariners Compass Stars naming all 32 winds was expected of Mariners Compass Stars Medieval mariners. In the earliest medieval portolan charts of the 14th century, compass roses were depicted as mere collections of color-coded compass rhumb lines : black for the eight main winds, green for the eight half-winds and red for the sixteen quarter-winds. The cartographer Cresques Abraham of Majorcain his Catalan Atlas ofwas the first to draw an ornate compass rose on a map. By the end of the 15th century, Portuguese cartographers began drawing multiple ornate Mariners Compass Stars roses throughout the chart, one upon each of the sixteen circumference roses unless the illustration conflicted with coastal details. However, from the outset, the custom also began to distinguish the north from the other points by a specific visual marker. Medieval Italian cartographers typically used a Mariners Compass Stars arrowhead or circumflex-hatted T an allusion to the compass needle to designate the north, while the Majorcan cartographic school typically used a stylized Pole Star for its north mark. Old compass roses also often used a Christian cross at Levante Eindicating the direction of Jerusalem from the point of view of the Mediterranean sea. The twelve Classical winds or a subset of them were also sometimes depicted on portolan charts, albeit not on a compass rose, but rather separately on small disks or coins on the edges of the map. The compass rose was also depicted on traverse boards used Mariners Compass Stars board ships to record headings sailed at set time intervals. Early wind compass rose, shown as a mere collection of color-coded rhumblines, from a Genoese nautical chart c. First ornate compass rose depicted on a chart, from the Catalan Atlaswith the Pole Star as north mark. The contemporary compass rose appears as two rings, one smaller and set inside the other. The outside ring denotes true cardinal directions while the smaller inside ring denotes magnetic cardinal directions. True north refers to the geographical location of the north pole while magnetic north refers to the direction towards which the north pole of a magnetic object as found in a compass will point. The angular difference between true and magnetic north is called variationwhich varies depending on location. North arrows are often included in contemporary maps as part of the map layout. The modern compass rose has eight principal winds. Listed clockwise, these are:. The names of the half-winds are simply combinations of the principal winds to either side, principal then ordinal. Quarter-wind names are constructed with the names "X by Y", which Mariners Compass Stars be read as "one quarter wind from X toward Y", where X is one of the eight principal winds and Y is one of the two adjacent cardinal directions. Naming all 32 points on the rose is called " boxing the compass ". Using gradiansof which there are in a circle, [20] the sixteen-point rose will Mariners Compass Stars twenty-five gradians per point. A degree and NATO mil compass rose.
