Preparation:1. Print or trace paper pieced unit 24 times. (Four units make one Compass

Block.) Add 1/4” seam allowance around all sides of the unit. Diagram 12. Transfer template markings of the background wedge (Template A) to

template material or freezer paper and cut out a full size template. Do the same for the compass center circle (Template B).

NOTE: The finished paper pieced unit is the mirror image of the paper pattern. All patches are cut as rectangles or squares to make thesewing more efficient.
