Guess I just need more Kaffe in my life. For me with quilting I've finally found out what math is FOR. Making my own quilt designs! Sometimes though the learning curve is too steep. I have all kinds of formulas in a folder that my husband has figured out for me -like changing sizes and half triangles, etc. Now I just look for the rulers that think for me:) Happy Birthday to your dad too!Sarah Vanderburghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031100633803570701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-53770483668787297812009-11-19T10:09:16.144-06:002009-11-19T10:09:16.144-06:00I do like your H quilt better than Kaffe's S q...I do like your H quilt better than Kaffe's S quilt.Kay Koeper Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179892338042007284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-71523604381845697952009-11-19T09:50:32.240-06:002009-11-19T09:50:32.240-06:00It was a 'fun' read today.

I have to admit that I enjoy the math work in quilting, maybe because I was most recently a math teacher. I like the "puzzle" aspect of the work.
