Frequently Asked Questions
A pattern is a design made of shapes or colors that repeat in a specific order without breaking the rule.
A pattern is a design made of shapes or colors that repeat in a specific order without breaking the rule.
How do we find the area of a square patch on the quilt?
You find the area by multiplying the side length of the square by itself (side × side).
What does symmetry mean in design?
Symmetry means if you fold a design in half along a line, both sides match up perfectly.
