My head is spinning from all this math ! :roll:
My math teacher was tutoring me Wed. and saw a pattern of a sunflower pattern I had printed and stuck in the back pocket of my notebook and said, "see that's all quilting is is geometrics and math". Just about socked him. Anyway, he was trying to encourage me about the darn math so now I'll just think in terms of quilting and I should be ok, right? :roll: :lol:

wvdek, you crack me up! I am the same way! Math is wicked!!!!!!!!!!! I am seeing quilts in everything, flooring,walls, even the sky is appliqued with clouds and sun streaming through the clouda. And the math thing is a bit less scarry when you thing in terms of , um florals and such. Goodness math freaks me out. I guess I need a tutor too. How did you get the nerve to get a math tutor? I am such a numbskull in that department!

A fat quarter is 18 inches long by one-half the width of fabric

When I got to geometry in high school, I totally rejected the concept because of the theorems/theorums? Root word of theorum/em - - theory. Who has time to MEMORIZE theories????
Then, when I found quilting, I began to notice the connection, and felt badly that my math teacher had not been able to help us understand the connection between geometry in numerous fields - - construction, quilting.
You have a good math teacher <g>.
When my children started learning basic math, one of my more intelligent chilluns converted everything to dollars and cents and did swimmingly!
