Fibonacci quilt pattern

Here's a fun tutorial to make 2 mirror image Fibonacci Square blocks! Cut 2 squares of contrasting fabric, 15” each Cut each strip into the following widths: (2) 1.5”, and one each of 2.5, 3.5, 5.5” Lay out the strips into 2 sets, alternating the colors of the strips. Sew strips together. Cross-cut the strip sets into the same widths as before. Lay out the strips into 2 sets, alternating the colors of the strips. Sew strips together. You’ll 2 blocks (with opposite colors) that will finish at…

So…. Back in 2005, I made this quilt in a class at Lydia’s. It was my first experience with “improv” piecing, and we were slicing and inserting narrow strips of fabric and t…

I decided to take my love of the Fibonacci sequence and my love of solids and challenge myself to see what I could do with it using my scraps. I made these Fibonacci blocks several years ago and it sat in my WIP pile. I pulled that out, took off the largest squares and made more 8.5" by 13.5" squares from my scraps. Playing with the layout. Hmm, no. That's a little more like it. Now for a background that would make those colours pop. Let's go with charcoal grey. Yep, that's it. A finished…

Walking through a quilt shop I saw a Fibonacci pattern for sale. What a great idea - using the Fibonacci sequence to decide the fabric widths. Knowing that the sequence is 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 (and so on, adding the last two numbers to get the next), I didn't need to buy the pattern. I used the Fibonacci sequence literally, cutting the fabric into 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8-inch strips. Because of the 1/4 inch seam allowance on each side of a strip, the finished size of each strip ends up a 1/2 inch…

Fibonacci Quilt: I have always been fascinated by the Fibonacci sequence. I thought it might be fun to design and build a quilt for my king size bed that incorporated the sequence. It was a painstaking process to design a repeatable pattern that could be used as a q…

As a Science teacher I love the idea of quilts with links to Maths and Science. This Mini quilt is based on the Fibonacci sequence. This was a fun project - I used scraps of solids and kept adding blocks until it felt like a decent size. I'm definitely a convert to spray basting after quilting this quilt. So much quicker when you don't have to remove safety pins and so many less wrinkles. I think this might be oft hang in my Science Lab for a while!
