Evelyn ★★★★★

The overlapping illusion really makes the star and compass blocks pop together. Cutting the square-in-square units was straightforward, and the 16-patch anchors everything nicely.

Hannah ★★★★★

I was worried the compass blocks would be too fiddly, but the square-in-square units keep everything lining up nicely. The 16-patch blocks give it a scrappy look that hides my seams better than expected, and the finished top looks way more complex than it was to piece.

Lily ★★★★★

The overlapping illusion on the star and compass blocks is really striking once it's pieced, way more dynamic than the flat photos suggested. I was worried the square-in-square and 16-patch sections would feel repetitive, but they break up the pattern nicely.
