Comments from a quilter and math teacher. If you choose 19 by 20, you would need 15 extra days. You could replace those with a temperature gradient set of squares—a key to reading the quilt. Moda has some good ideas: www.modafabrics.com/inspiration-...

I saw the Wooly Stars patten at a shop this year (www.etsy.com/listing/1150...) and knew I wanted to make a baby #quilt. I made one of the sheep black and facing left. Turned out just how I wanted!

I am a teacher and only #quilt in the summers. Here is my first quilt of the summer! A friend wanted a peachy pink quilt for her queen sized bed.

Always use them. These are leftovers from a Christmas #quilt. I make pot holders and give them as gifts or donate for sale for charity.

After contemplating, I decided to shorten my new sweater. It was a top down #knitting project so pretty easy to do. Here is the new result:

I choose not to quilt during the school year (I am a math professor and if I have a choice to grade papers or quilt, well…you know!). So this was my winter project.

I can relate…

#quilt from 2012. The embroidery in the middle took a looooong time. This is the only quilt I have ever sent out to be machine quilted on a long arm. We thought the music notes were wrong so we fixed a couple!

Last day of final exams. And last holiday #mathshirt of 2024. #quilt in the background is my wife’s.

Correct—great pattern!

This is the design phase on that pattern (different quilt, same pattern, mostly same fabrics).

Do you have a go to baby #quilt pattern? This is my favorite one but it takes a while. Complete with cute baby (friend’s) who is now a petulant teenager.

Yes. Occasional baby #quilt. I only have a picture of a top.

Floor, bed, kitchen counter, piano…

Today’s holiday #mathshirt is another of my favorites. #quilt

This #mathshirt is the geekiest of the holiday ones. #quilt

I kept the sample starter #quilt !

I wear #mathteacher shirts at the end of the semester. Students seem to love them! I know I do. Yesterday’s shirt is on the left and today’s is on the right. #quilt

My niece wanted a pink bunny #quilt for her daughter. After searching the web, we were inspired by a couple, but couldn’t find a pattern. So my wife drew the bunnies and I appliquéd and quilted. In the non-bunny squares, I quilted carrots. You have to zoom in pretty close to see them!

Queen-sized. Several of them. It is hard but gratifying.

I prefer a single fabric backing. I love turning a quilt over to see the effect of the quilting—I do all my own machine quilting on a regular sewing machine and I like seeing the patterns.

This is an old picture (2016) of an old Christmas #quilt (about 2003). ‘Tis the season!

Full picture of the front and back of my office #quilt. I love the way the back looks.

My pre-Thanksgiving #math shirt for my students today. #quilt in the background is another op-art quilt.

That was the inspiration. I am a math professor and I made it for another math professor.

Bruce's Scrap Slab Quilt I love in seeing the quilts students make from my tutorials. This is a quilt Bruce made from my Scrap Slab Triangles tutorial .   As you c...
