I have a bit of advice you can pass along to your daughter, my son had a professor who he did not understand so he went on line and found you tube videos on the subject and found someone who explained the concept in a way it made sense. So in his world if you need help with anything there is a you tube video on the subject. :-)conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086795063106012321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20486466.post-53934385602011236322010-10-12T10:25:18.444-07:002010-10-12T10:25:18.444-07:00Fun column!

But I've learned a few things:<br /><br />I can now add and subtract fractions because I picture a ruler...wish someone had taught me that in school.<br /><br />The Pythagorean theorem is the only thing I remember from math class, and I've used it to figure out quilt desings, only I keep getting a lot of 1/3 and 1/6, which aren't on my ruler.<br /><br />My best math advice is: if you change the size of the squares or any other element halfway through making the quilt, be sure to stop and refigure the amount of fabric you need for the borders and backing!Pam Geisel - For Quilts Sakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209714611725110965noreply@blogger.com
