September Meeting Highlights

From the September 26th Meeting: Tantalizing Tessellations with Nancy Goff 
 

Nancy Goff "A Tessellation of Ginko" presentation

tes·sel·la·tion

ˌtesəˈlāSH(ə)n/

noun

noun: tessellation; plural noun: tessellations; noun: tesselation; plural noun: tesselations

1. the process or art of tessellating a surface, or the state of being tessellated.

   • an arrangement of shapes closely fitted together, especially of polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping.

Nancy's really into puzzles and if you've ever seen her 15th tessellation of a pentagon quilt, you begin to understand her obsession! Nancy shared all the secrets of her "A Tessellation of Ginko" quilt with us, which we have been admiring since the curves ahead challenge. It is always fascinating to see a person's creative process and Nancy's step by step approach to designing and creating this quilt had some of us hoping that she will write a pattern and teach a class on how to make it some day! Thank you for a great presentation, Nancy! We can't wait to see what mathematical quilt you create next.
