In the summer of 2015 my daughter Nikita and I enjoyed an “art week” which included painting, origami, and quilting.  This project we designed together on graph paper, transferred it to large cardboard, then traced out template plastic.  We each selected different fabrics from a common array, using them for different pieces.  We crossed our fingers as we attempted to work out the intricate geometry. And we laughed a lot.

Working out the relationships between the various red or black centers and yo-yos finally forced a decision  among many good ideas…..

Here is a sequence of my progress through this project.
