Fibonacci quilt

So…. Back in 2005, I made this quilt in a class at Lydia’s. It was my first experience with “improv” piecing, and we were slicing and inserting narrow strips of fabric and t…

How do you use the Fibonacci sequence in quilts? This article gives examples showing the different ways of using Fibonacci in quilting.

As a Science teacher I love the idea of quilts with links to Maths and Science. This Mini quilt is based on the Fibonacci sequence. This was a fun project - I used scraps of solids and kept adding blocks until it felt like a decent size. I'm definitely a convert to spray basting after quilting this quilt. So much quicker when you don't have to remove safety pins and so many less wrinkles. I think this might be oft hang in my Science Lab for a while!

Here's a fun tutorial to make 2 mirror image Fibonacci Square blocks! Cut 2 squares of contrasting fabric, 15” each Cut each strip into the following widths: (2) 1.5”, and one each of 2.5, 3.5, 5.5” Lay out the strips into 2 sets, alternating the colors of the strips. Sew strips together. Cross-cut the strip sets into the same widths as before. Lay out the strips into 2 sets, alternating the colors of the strips. Sew strips together. You’ll 2 blocks (with opposite colors) that will finish at…

This nicely complex block is a WHOLE lot easier to make than it looks. (Edited to add: See the finished quilt here!) It's July, and I'm so excited that it's my turn to host again in the Nurture Circle of do. Good Stitches! This month we are all going to be making blocks based on the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical concept that was discovered around 200 BC. In fact, it's been around even longer than Fibonacci, who it's named after, but he introduced it to the…

So this one is entirely for my mother/minions - it’s just a total math thing and something I wanted to do for a while…but like usual it took me a while to execute the idea. The Fibonacci number/sequence/golden ratio/golden rectangle is a huge part of classical design, and lends itself to a nice rain

Walking through a quilt shop I saw a Fibonacci pattern for sale. What a great idea - using the Fibonacci sequence to decide the fabric widths. Knowing that the sequence is 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 (and so on, adding the last two numbers to get the next), I didn't need to buy the pattern. I used the Fibonacci sequence literally, cutting the fabric into 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8-inch strips. Because of the 1/4 inch seam allowance on each side of a strip, the finished size of each strip ends up a 1/2 inch…
