Tying quilting to math is the subject of a presentation our quilt guild will make to a high school geometry class. Several of us are going to prepare this and I would like to know in what way can we tie it to math other than using rulers, creating blocks, etc. Any help would be appreciated. I am not a math teacher.

I realize now, about 100 years later, that I should have paid more attention in math. I was looking at a quilt book today that calls for make trapazoids???? Give me a break!!!!. I will stick with the triangle and squares. Gives my brain too much pain to think about all that high faluting stuff!
