You effectively invented the Friendship Star! Which is what it is, it's a fairly popular block and a lovely one. I like the way you've done it around the edges, it has a Celtic knot feel to it. Your daughter is one lucky lady. And hey, it's great to develop your maths skills like that as well. I really feel proud when I figure out something basic involving geometry for a quilt, and engage with it far more than I did with abstract maths problems at school. Actually, I quite enjoyed maths, I was good at it and would have algebra races with two friends in the class (thus driving our poor teacher mad - everyone else was chatting away, we kept on asking for the next set of exercises), but once it got more complicated I completely lost interest, and now I still struggle a certain amount with switching back and forth between metric and imperial (I'm in the UK, we use metric including for cutting fabric, although quilting remains imperial due to the strong American influence) and working out how much fabric to cut and so forth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
