There are many tricks for teaching multiplication tables, but only a few have the eye for design ... and this can't be taught. It is a beautiful quilt!

Thanks! We actually homeschool both of our daughters, for many reasons, but one of them being that she has a rare version of a common syndrome, which requires her to be kept warm as much as possible...something that public schools in upstate NY cannot always guarantee. She's always been so advanced in math so I don't think it will take her long to catch on. She can multiply without a problem but it's the memorizing that's taking her longer.

I'm sure she would love to have others making a quilt she helped to design. She was so proud of how it came out.
