At least that’s what I call it.
It was made by one of my customers who has a math degree. She made it for a nephew, who is also a mathematician. It’s his wedding present to another mathematician. So it is perfect!
The basic quilt is an enlargement of another quilt she made. Then she put 4 appliques on it representing 4 different mathematical proofs.
- Tennebaum’s Proof of the Irrationality of the Square Root of 2
- Pythagorean Theorem
- Nicomachus’s Theorem
- Geometric Series
My only instructions were to not disrupt the proofs with my quilting.
The background fabric is actually white with a silver thread woven through similar to a shot-cotton. A shot-cotton is woven with 2 different color threads, with one as the weft and one the warp. It is a very modern-looking quilt. I love the way it came out.
My only issue is I do not have high enough ceilings to hang this quilt. So the bottom is on the floor.
I still have not heard if the bride and groom liked it or not?
I always enjoyed math when I was in school. So would this make you like math?

So clever!
