You're right! That is a block bender from the technique by Margaret Miller. I'm now looking at mandala designs as well - amazing where google can take you! :lol: This is cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g16B6...eature=related

There is a natural beauty in each fractal design. I use to have a set of lamaneted fractals from nature that I showed my students each year when we got to a certain chapter in science and in math. They are very interesting.

Looked at some of the galleries....holy cow! There are some beautiful pictures! Definitely something I'm going to do some research on in the future...
Thanks for the link and ideas! :)

I love the way you push the envelope ;-)

Quilt University has a class on fractals taught by Lily Kerns. It's next offered September 30th.

Certainly an interesting idea, don't know whether I hate it or love it........

Fractals?---a new one to me----it takes quilting to a new, modern level for sure

Thanks for posting

Gosh, fractal quilts have been around since the 60's at least! There are many types of "math quilts" out there, all amazing.
A good place to start is http://www.mathquilt.com/

I'm in the process of getting ready for a party so not much time now but I'll certainly be checking that out later - looks fascinating! :-D

I have been making "fractal" quilts for years :D :D :D
A "fractal" is a geometric design where it repeats smaller, it can be found EVERYwhere in nature! but also paintings, tilework, weaving for thousands of years!!!
so Im not the only human obbsessed am I ;)

I have a few ideas sketched out :D from when this topic was brought up last time.
Maybe it is time to get them back out again LOL
I can't wait to see what you do with this concept :D:D:D
