The Mathematical Quilting of Camilla Fox

quilt-camilla-fox-dragon-curve.jpg

George over at MAKE recently shared this amazing math-based dragon curve quilt by Camilla Fox. Fox explains some of the challenges behind the design and the process of making the quilt on her website:

The curve is framed (within the quilt) with space to allow a rotated interlocking copy of the dragon curve, and this second curve is picked out in the quilting. In hindsight, I should have been thinking more about area fills and less about where the lines go, for quilting it, since the line is hard to follow.
