School subjects that aid a quilter
 

When you were in school did you take a course in something not knowing what on earth you'd use it for, but found out later that it aided you in quilting?

One such subject I can think of is Geometry. At the time I didn't have a clue as to what I could do with that knowledge, but since taking up quilting, I found I had a fairly good understanding of angles and measurements, thanks to the geometry class I had in school.

Are there any other classes you can think of that helped you personally in quilting?

Definitely the math classes! Figuring out how much binding to make, or how many blocks I'll need, or whether I have enough fabric for a border, I thank Mr. Evoy every time!

Yep, geometry for me, too. I struggled then and I still do!

Reading, math, art....

Believe it or not, for me, along with geometry, it has been creative writing! I use lessons from those classes often when I design patterns and look for ways to write instructions that are clear, concise, easy.

geometry.....Did not like it one bit. So I married a math teacher. Yep, he teaches geometry. LOL!

Home Economics (dating myself), Art Class, geometry and regular math, along with my dad, the carpenter and measuring wood for him to cut and many his tools that I use in my quilting.

using a ratio ruler when sizing photos for publication...real old-school!

Math and Art were always my favorite classes. So thankful now!
