Quilt pattern
Have a look at the quilt and try to identify the details of the pattern.
Given that this kind of quilt does not have to be stitched one square at a time, think of an efficient way of making it.

Maths everywhere – from the graph paper websiteCalculating various bits about regular hexagons
Given length of a side x... Tip to tip across the hex is 2x. Height of the hex flat side to flat side is 2x(sqrt(3/4)) or about 1.732x. Area of the hex is 1.5(x^2 (sqrt(3)) or about 2.56x^2.
Example: Making graph paper with 4 hexes per square inch
Hexagon with a side length of x... The area of that hex would be about...2.6 (x^2)So for 4 hexes per square inch...4 * 2.6 (x^2) = 1x^2 = 1/10.4x^2 = .096x = .31 inches per side.
Extra: 1 sq. in. per hex ~= 0.6204
