Celebrating #nationalquiltingmonth with two classic quilting blocks: the Sawtooth Star and Dutchman’s Puzzle. Geometiles allow you to create these patterns quickly so that you can focus on their geometry even if you don’t know how to sew. See https://t.co/gmSXaxMo49 for examples.
Celebrating this year’s Pi(e) Day with this fluted number! It comes with its own pie stand, made for the occasion. Watch to see how two flat surfaces come together to make the pie— or should I say PIElyhedron?? Mobies make the thin pedestal of the pie stand possible. #piday2025

This #BlackHistoryMonth I’ve been looking at the origins of African American crafts. The pattern in the first picture is inspired by Kente cloth. The cube design is based on the zigzag pattern often seen in African art. #mathart#mathematicalart
