    I notice there are numerous posts asking math questions, mine included. Does anyone know if there is a book of just quilting math or any other resources? I could sure use it. Or maybe we could have a math thread for those of us so challenged.

    There's a class for that! :lol: Quilt University has a Math for Quilters class, taught by Dena Crain (she's great, I had her for something else ;) ). Next class starts September 9th. http://www.quiltuniversity.com/calendar.htm

    Is the class free because money for classes in not in my budget right now. But I have a gift owed to me and would apply it towards a book.

    I believe it's a four week class (with a bonus lesson), so the cost would be $36.

    This site is pretty easy to use....I've used it a couple times and it made sense to this newbie.

    I have some cheat sheets for various calculations. I found them at Victorian Quilts, I think. I laminated them and keep them handy.

    Thanks so much. Printed all of them out & put in a separate folder so I don't have to search for them. Anne
