This past week we delved into symmetry and visual representations of symmetrical examples. In the back of my mind I was thinking quilts and the amazing skills our early forebears developed in designing them. A quilt is functional as well as beautiful. It may be complicated and encompass geometry as well as symmetry, or not.
Today I found a piece about quilts and symmetry that includes some simple activities ... or, you can gather a group of folks and start a quilting bee!
