Math is a problem.<\/p>\n

Well, math is a problem for me. I try to avoid it where possible, but as a quiltmaker, I clearly can’t avoid it all the time. I do have strategies. If my blocks are on the design wall, I can count them and don’t have to do actual math. I live with brilliant math geniuses to whom i explain my math problem and they figure it out. Usually, they say, “oh you just have to factor this number into….” then I am back sitting in 7th grade math class the horror that I could not understand the teacher dawning afresh. As a purely self preservation tactic, I start drifting off into color and visuals land while they sound like the teacher on Charlie Brown cartoon (WAH WAH WAH) in the background. I drift back when they give me the answer and everyone is happy. Well, at least I am happy. I don’t think the boys really care or not. They know they will have to explain the same concept to me again at some future date.<\/p>\n

\"O9P<\/a>
O9P Not on the Design Wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The problem really comes in when my blocks are not on the design wall and I can’t get a sense of where I need to go. I believe the last time I worked on this was sometime around the end of April<\/a>. I think I got it off the design wall so I could work on Field Day Zipper<\/a> and the Food Quilt #2<\/a>. I don’t really remember.<\/p>\n

It is pretty easy to just sew 9 patch, except for the hump. I need more foreground\/colored squares. The problem is I don’t know how many I should cut so that I can finish the 9 patches I need and not have too many leftover. This means math and I have been avoiding it. Or I could just cut a strip off each piece of yardage and not worry about the leftovers. Isn’t as though there is a shortage of fabric in my house.<\/p>\n

Lots of humps in my life at the moment.<\/p>\n

This would be a great project to move forward on as I stitch the FOTY 2014 pairs together, so perhaps I should do some math?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
