Blogger's Quilt Festival: Infinite

Excited to be participating again in Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival.


My entry for today is Infinite.  I blogged about this creative process in the spring/summer because it required considerable experimentation before I designed the templates that I used in the quilt.  


 This is a fractal quilt that I made for my son who is now off for his freshman year of college.  (My son is a whiz in math and computer science so I wanted a quilt with a mathematical theme.)




This is what it looked like in the dorm room on the very first day




We went to visit the quilt my son for parents weekend last weekend.  This was the first time I had been to campus.   I love his school and am so happy to see the way my son has clearly adapted to college life.  He clearly uses the quilt - it was in a big bunch at the bottom of his bed!


Please go visit Amy and enjoy the blogger's quilt festival.  Many wonderful quilts and blogs to visit.

For those new to my blog, I am celebrating my first year of blogging with a follower's giveaway.  See this post to enter.



Happy Stitching!

    What a neat quilt for a math whiz! Actually neat for anyone! It looks nice on his bed too--even if only for a day or two until it's buried under all his college junk!

    What a crazy, cool design for a quilt! And even cooler that your son has a piece of you with him at college.

    Very cool! Pinning for the future. One of my four boys would probably like it! I am guessing the one that likes Legos!

    OMG! What an amazing quilt! I love scientific nerdy quilts!! That's incredible. Next time you visit your quilt (LOL), if it's not being well kept, I'll gladly adopt it LOL! So, so cool!

    I've heard of fractals but this is the first quilt I've seen! It looks like a perfect quilt for a smart young man.

    Great quilt for your math guy. In a new challenge I just learned that the light and dark and swapping cuts is called Notan.
    Thanks for the inspiration.
    Come see my entries: #29 miniature applique reproduction quilt and #31 antique 1850 star quilt.

    I love your design but I don't think I would have ever used white as one of the colors even though both my sons are neatnicks.
