    Am I the only one that enjoys the math?

    It seems whenever I am around other quilters I always hear, "Oh, that involves math and I don't do/like math."

    I love that part of the creating. Am I the only one? There has to be another person or two on here that enjoys math. Speak up, please!

    I do quilt math and I do cooking math. I don't mind either one. I have a printing calculator sitting on my desk to do all my quilt math on.

    I am sure there is. I struggle to understand math. So the math involved in quilting is a struggle. I'd like to like it.

    I'm with you, MaryLane!!! Love that part of it. Often, I will work out a pattern for myself from a picture. They've always worked out. (I am a retired math teacher). LOL

    Me, too. I started out to be a math major in college and switched to Home Economics as I planned to teach and thought it sounded like a lot more interesting things to teach children. Love working out the patterns for mayself.

    I definitely enjoy the design process and the math involved in altering the size of blocks to alter the end size of the quilt. I have graph paper and pencils at my workspace.

    Cheers, K

    AMEN and AMEN, Mickey!! If it doesn't have an existing pattern to follow, it's not in my quilting folder. I just barely made it through Geometry!!! I do WISH I had had a different attitude toward math back then, but my life has been just fine with grammar school math
