i agree with ninnie the tree is more user friendly but there are a lot of HST and points to deal with.

i love that compass star, it might take you a little longer to put together because you have to learn foundation piecing but it would make a stellar quilt in the end.

I have not started, but have two different centers in mind. I may do two, or I may just do one, depending upon needs of the RR, and how these centers come out. I'm working on one, and am waiting to get a paper piecing tutorial so I can decide about the other. I'm a nervous wreck...I've been trying to teach myself paper piecing but really need it demonstrated. I can't visualize what the books are doing...Yikes...

Don't start fretting now, wait until you get your first center, then the stress will set it. :)
But in all honesty, you will do fine, I PROMISE!! If you feel that you aren't, you are welcome to come to my house and pilfer thru my stash. :) :)

One of the blocks I was thinking of doing is now no longer an option. The more I looked at it, the more I realized is wasn't meant to be part of a bigger piece - it was a 12 inch wall hanging, and would have looked silly with borders added in the sizes that we are doing.

That said, I have a large swirly fabric I want to highlight. It's similar to large paisleys but not quite as busy. Any ideas for centers that showcase a large print?
