Fibonacci and the Phoenix
Well this past weekend I decided to make a quilt using the logo I created for my photography company. It was a simple line are image that I created in photoshop but I wanted to quilt to be spectacular. So I enlarged the image and printed it in Acrobat so that it was nearly 50x40.
Since I am an art and photography fanatic I decided that I wanted to incorporate Fibonacci numbers for a little extra flair.
So since this specific quilt is to fit a full/double bed here I the measurements I used:
Fibonacci Numbers: <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Cambria; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4; mso-font-charset:0; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 0 0 0 1 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89
Quilt (bedspread) size of 97x 102
Border length
13+26+42+21=102 (21 will be at the bottom)
Center of the quilt: (54 wide by 102 long)
13+13+34+21+21=102
26x54 blue
34x54 Phoenix
21x54 blue
21x 54 Fibonacci strips
The 21 inch drop to the floor will be Fibonacci strips
The Phoenix will consist of 50x30 Phoenix with 2 inch purple borders all the around
Fibonacci strips red blue orange yellow and purple
Fibonacci strips in inches:
1,2,3,5,2,1,5,2= this will give me 21 inches x the length of usable fabric
So anyway I was wondering if I should leave the corners square or maybe trim off at an angle.
What do you think?
