My cousin Mark has a beautiful daughter named Cassie.  Unfortunately for us, her mom moved up to Alaska so I didn’t get to watch her grow up.  Since it gets a little cold up there (an understatement), I thought a little blue and yellow brightness would be nice.  And a Mariner’s Compass so she could always find her way back south. 

Fortunately, she will be visiting this Christmas with her mom.  The Mariner’s Compass was a class I took at Road to Calif Quilt show.  Two different teachers, with two different methods.  Love this pattern.
