[quote=Rettie V.Grama]You really stirred my imagination in this topic of Mandala Quilt.

So much so, in fact, I went on line to see if I could find anything about it. This is a portion of what I found:

Maṇḍala (मण्डल) is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". In the Hindu and Buddhist religious traditions, their sacred art often takes a mandala form. The basic form of most Hindu and Buddhist mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Each gate is in the shape of a T.[1][2]

Fractals also enter into it. That's a whole new fascinating subject especially if you like math.
