School subjects that aid a quilter
When you were in school did you take a course in something not knowing what on earth you'd use it for, but found out later that it aided you in quilting?
One such subject I can think of is Geometry. At the time I didn't have a clue as to what I could do with that knowledge, but since taking up quilting, I found I had a fairly good understanding of angles and measurements, thanks to the geometry class I had in school.
Are there any other classes you can think of that helped you personally in quilting?

Believe it or not, for me, along with geometry, it has been creative writing! I use lessons from those classes often when I design patterns and look for ways to write instructions that are clear, concise, easy.
