These are georguos but way beyond my skill
|
Way to busy and complicated for me. I quilt to relax and it is a hobby. Some people are artists and to each his own, I just don't care for it as a quilt.

Have a look and see what you think - this topic has had 48 views but so far no comments. :? |
They are beautiful and would love to have one (any offers out there?)but they are not for me. They look like WAY too much work to me. I am still just learning the basics of quilting. But they are georgeous.

I'm taking a Fractal Fragments quilting class at Quilt University. Learning a lot!
|
Thanks so much!!!! I had no idea you could achieve anything like that!
|
The very word scares me! And then to hear that math is involved???? Yikes, more power to you all:)
|
Different, yet interesting for sure. Almost makes my head hurt just thinking about putting one together! LOL!
|
I've taken classes at Quilt University for a long time, maybe as long as they have been around. I'm really enjoying this Fractal class.
|
Thanks for the info and feedback onQU classes, Ghostrider and Goldendog. I'm signed up for the sample class to try it out. I love online classes. :D :D

As with any other pattern, some of them I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and others, not so much. I have too much of a back log now to spend the time to make one. They look very time consuming.

I find them facinating and some are out of this world, how did they do these! I'd love to see patterns for thse too but I don't know if any are available.

For those who would like to try designing and making a fractal quilt on your own, you might start by reading Rose Rushbrooke's article about fractal quilt making from her website originally posted by k3n.
http://www.roserushbrooke.com/fracta...t-article.html To find a fractal of your own to translate into a stunning quilt, there are several fractal generator programs available, some free, online. this one is free, but quite simple and, therefore, limited http://www.easyfractalgenerator.com/Home.aspx this one looks to have much more potential and has a free 30 day product evaluation period, cost to purchase the full program is $30 (this site is well worth exploring even if you don't intend to buy...his gallery is amazing, over 500 images all generated with his program...I'm thinking I need this software :oops: ) http://www.fractalsciencekit.com/index.htm you can find others if you Google 'fractal generators' |
NICE! thanks for the sites Ghostrider :D some nice ideas, for very doable patterns :mrgreen:

I've been fascinated with fractals since I saw a PBS program a few years ago. The trouble is I start looking at them and the next time I'm aware is a couple of hours later. What is it about them, I just love looking at them.
