Completed at last!

Wow..... wow. Those are just.... wow.

Pat, I am a math teacher, and I'd love to show the website to my students.
Could you tell me how you came up with the concept? I'd love to tell them more
information about how these came to be.

Again, those are just wonderful.

Some of you will have noticed references, over the past couple of
years!, to a set of mathematical quilts I have been making. I have had
some great encouragement from here and I now want to share with you my
delight that it is all done. I delivered the quilts to the organisers
of the exhibition last Monday. DH and I photographed them the day
before, and he has now put them onto their own page in our website. I
understand that colours vary from computer to computer, so they may not
be exact to the fabric, but they are near enough for you to get the
effect, I hope. Also, the one representing the Fibonacci series has a
slightly wavy edge! That is because I quickly pinned back the binding
and took the photograph on the morning of my departure! I sewed down
the binding and the hanging sleeve in the hotel that evening g. I
have had the 'Snowflake' quilt - the centrepiece of this collection on
the site for six months, so you may have seen that one. The other
twelve are all just under 24" square (though they are not all square!).
I used a lot of variegated thread (and self colour thread) for quilting,
so most of it is invisible!) That's funny really, because, although
usually I shy away from the quilting, I actually enjoyed this 'lot' and
some of it looks quite pleasing g.
The place to get to the 'mathematicals' on their own is:
www.quik.clara.co.uk/quilts4
Our website as a whole is:
www.quik.clara.co.uk,
and there is a highlighted bit on the home page to get to them.
Whatever you prefer.
If anyone has any question on their construction, or anything, do feel
free to e-mail me. My address is OK at the top here.

My friend who works as an engingeer wanted to know why no Mandlebrot
figures. http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/julia/julia.html

Should I make him draft a pattern?

After he recovers from the bruised skull for suggesting something is
wrong, of course.

Ha-ha!
My husband worked on a Mandelbrot program for a few years, and I really
wanted to do one. The thing is, it would have had to be enormous to
show the repetition at all; and, with a fractal, there's little point
unless you can see that. I looked at loads of Mandelbrot examples to
see if there was even one that would be feasible. I don't mind curves,
so I would have tried, but ...
Also, the centres of the pieces of the base one would have been very
large and empty - the patterns are all on the edges, unfortunately.

So, you do have an explanation to take back to him g

Good golly Miss Patti! I read sentence and wondered WHY
anyone would need to work for years developing a bread
recipe. (Mandelbrot = Almond Bread, IIRC) Guess that
means I really NEED my Java today.
Great quilts, awesome quilts ... I have sent the link
to my quilting buddy who is a University Professor of
Mathematics.
