How's that for sitting on the fence? I love how this one came out... the quilting is super cool. And the name really grabbed me (having used a compass rose for our wedding logo). <br /><br />I don't know what you experience level is with photography, so I hope this isn't like coal to Newcastle for you, but the professional photographer we had in to our guild meeting a while back was very much in favour of northern exposure for natural lighting of pics. Since then I've been really thinking about that when snapping pics and it seems to be helpful. <br /><br />Good grief... what a long comment!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-23154423741849860242015-07-08T12:35:56.820-05:002015-07-08T12:35:56.820-05:00Now that's what I call Flying by the seat of y...Now that's what I call Flying by the seat of your pants!

The explorer in me loves the compass theme and I'm glad those equilateral triangles worked out so well. Sometimes going without a plan is freeing because whatever you try won't be wrong, but it is comforting to come back to a more structured project afterwards :) Congrats on the finishAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332411743129736245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-48002027467682625132015-07-04T17:37:34.759-05:002015-07-04T17:37:34.759-05:00I especially love the quilting on this quilt!
