How to fill out Quilting Exploration with Polygons and Tessellations

1. Gather materials such as fabric, scissors, a sewing machine, and a ruler.
2. Choose a quilting pattern that incorporates polygons and tessellations.
3. Draw the polygon shapes on paper or directly on fabric using a ruler.
4. Cut out the shapes from the fabric accurately.
5. Arrange the cut shapes to form a tessellation pattern, ensuring they fit together without gaps.
6. Sew the pieces together using a sewing machine, following the edges of the shapes.
7. Create a quilt sandwich with batting and backing fabric, placing the quilt top on top.
8. Quilt as desired, either by hand or using a sewing machine.
9. Bind the edges of the quilt to finish it off neatly.

What is the difference between a pattern and a tessellation?

A tessellation is simply a tiling that has a repeated pattern of one or more shapes. For a pattern to truly be a tessellation, the shapes can't overlap and can have no spaces between them. The pattern can be created by rotating, translating (sliding), and/or reflecting (mirroring) the shapes.

What is the most popular quilt pattern of all time?

While there are many stages to making a quilt, I'm focusing here on some of the initial steps — cutting, piecing, pressing and squaring — as these are the best starting point. Once you've practiced and mastered these steps, you'll be ready to put your quilt top together, make the quilt sandwich and finish the project.

What is a tessellation quilt?

Tessellation Quilts A Tessellation is a shape or combination of interlocking shapes which will indefinitely cover an area without any gaps or overlaps.

What are the three 3 rules for tessellations?

Audio: 3 Rules of a Tessellation Rule #1The shapes must be regular polygons. Rule #2 The polygons can't overlap or have gaps in the pattern. Rule #3 Every vertex has to look the same.

What is the golden rule in quilting?

The Golden Ratio The ratio, in its simplest form, is 1.6 to 1. This is applied so that each border should be 1.6 times larger than the previous one. One border is 2”, the next is 3.25″ (rounding number to the nearest 1⁄4” makes cutting nicer). These are finished widths.
