The system uses strip piecing method. That means stitching two strips of fabrics together first, and using these special rulers to cut the pieces at a certain angle, creating the first part of the Mariner's Compass. Then, you keep on adding strips of fabric to the created blocks, and cutting them at the specified angle (the angle depends on what number of points you chose-16 or 32, and the size of your block, from 6" to 36", consult the book), expanding the Mariners Compass as you go, until you finish the 360 degrees full Mariner's Compass block with precision worth King's Ransom!
