Quilty Math: Isosceles or Not?

[@sonjemitchell3543]

Where were you 42 years ago when I needed geometry explained in understandable ways?!❤

[@CopycatQuilter]

It does all make sense when someone teaches it the right way. Of course, when the teacher is giggly and fun, lol… Thanks for watching!

[@suziehemmer6116]

Thank you for the refresher.

It was like a blast from my high school days! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@kathieheath8716]

Great explanation - thanks!

[@CopycatQuilter]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching! Hope it wasn’t TOO geeky, but hey, some of us are geeks! Lol

Oh Lawd! If I was 50 years younger and she was my math teacher I would have learned something. GREAT EXPLANATION!!!

[@CopycatQuilter]

I think she's pretty awesome, lol... she's a smart one for sure! Thanks for watching and please stick around!

just found you a week ago on fb and streaming your videos while I sew!

Cool! Thanks for watching!

Great presentation. Now quilty math seems to be something that many quilters avoid. However, mastering 1.414 (the factor of a diagonal to the sides of a square) is one of the most useful and powerful nuggets that allow a quilter to size side setting and and corner setting triangles in any of their applications. Now truly, some of the math can make one's head hurt--and I managed to configure the all of the elements in a LeMoyne Star only because it is one of my favorite blocks and there is precious little out there on sizing components. (I later came to own EQ8 which helps take some of the head scratching out of this stuff.)

I’m a bit of a math geek and it sounds like you are, too! Quilting is all about proportion and spacing and repetition so lots of math brain activity! Thanks for watching! 💚
