@matt_zucker a fellow math quilter! A few of us have gradually found each other over the years, mostly on IG.

@amyqualls Greetings!

Some of your quilts were showcased in my *other* Penrose quilt thread, where I foolishly attempted to exhaustively catalog every single one on the internet. Your work is gorgeous!

@matt_zucker (squee, she says, standing in her kitchen while squinting at her phone because her glasses fell off the nightstand and the Velma thing is real)

I figured out how I didn't know about the thread - you @'ed my public account, which I use for in-person conferences and little else.

Aside: I'm glad you were pointed to FPP. I came to the same, maddened conclusion. Best answer I've found: find someone with the right type of laser cutter, and get flexible Mylar FPP templates laser cut.

@amyqualls Laser-cut mylar - that's brilliant. Will keep that trick in my back pocket...

@matt_zucker I'm scrolling through the thread and cackling because someone else hit the same problems I did! For "Seven Brides" I did the full 14-point rosette in full, ONCE, to prove I could. (Liberty Tana Lawn FTW here, ask me why.) For the rest of the rosettes, I altered how I constructed the shape to make it more fabric-friendly: https://flic.kr/p/uYTAp2
