It's not really 'rocket science', so I find it enjoyable.

Between us, I think she's likely the only one! But thank goodness she's out there or the rest of us would have a tough go of it. So Thank you, MaryLane, and all the versions of you that help the rest of us! |

I'm with you, MaryLane!!! Love that part of it. Often, I will work out a pattern for myself from a picture. They've always worked out. (I am a retired math teacher). LOL

They don't teach math in quilting classes any more. All is figured out for you. However, I have been doing some lecture/demos at the local quilt shop and the most asked question is how to figure yardage and make a block different sizes. After reading all the posts above.....let me tell you it doesn't take a degree or advanced study to do this. Just some simple elementary school arithmetic. If 2 plus 2 is 4 then 3 plus 3 must be six.....
The only thing that might be difficult for quilters is thinking in square inches of a color in a block and then that number in a square yard of fabric. I'm about to jump into the YTube technology and that is one of the subjects I'm working on. |
I always end up calling my sister in California because I can't figure it out! She loves this, because usually I am the smart one. Ha ha!

I love the math part of quilting! I always loved math in high school and college, and I love being able to apply the math to quilting!
|
I don't care for math...but I will try as long as I have a formula...I am so NOT left brained....
|
My graph paper is my first step in almost all my quilts.

Wouldn't be me, usually have to call a quilter friend.
