Very interesting!

I've been hearing about Fibonacci and the Golden Sequence for the past few years. I had no idea how it worked so I was happy to get this ruler and the star and square templates. They came with minimal instructions so I hit the internet to learn more about Fibonacci and its relationship to quilting. Of course, this can apply to many things, including nature and plants, shapes and sizes of animals, etc. I wanted to find out how this relates to my craft. I've only heard of this in relation to quilt borders so you have the right width for each quilt border. One of the quilts I found on her blog with lots of information was Jeannie Beyer. If you're wondering how she uses the golden ratio, go there. She gives many examples and shows how a quilt block made the same way but with different sizes can look so different and just "right" compared to another. Also if you are not a quilter but want to see some examples I think your blog would be helpful. Square and star pattern. The star template said it was based on 6 inches and the squares were based on 5 inches. So using the 12 inch ruler and the rectangle shown in the templates I enlarged the rectangle for the squares to one based on 6 inches. Then I used both sides of the ruler to fit each square into the rectangles, and then I was able to fit the different sized stars into their corresponding squares. It worked! I was very proud of myself to say the least. I have no idea what area of math this is taught in, but my class where it might be a part of geometry was 51 years ago! I took no math classes other than self-study to ensure I knew metric and apothecary measurements before entering nursing school. I'm really excited about this set of rulers and templates and already have some ideas in mind how to use them in my sewing and craft projects. I like to learn new things and for us older people it's supposed to prevent aging and it was an interesting concept to explore. I would recommend a section on this topic for homeschooling parents like Well. It may or may not be taught in public schools, but why not. It's not like it should take a month or more to learn. Once you discover this it will be interesting to see how many locations you see in this Golden Sequence. I appreciate receiving them. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • โž— Divine Fibonacci ratio without mathematical calculations. A non-mathematical method of determining the golden ratio, the Phi Golden Ratio Ruler is the perfect measuring tool for measuring eyebrows and other artistic projects with confidence. Simply measure in inches on the A scale and then draw the golden ratio on the B scale or switch from B to A scale as needed. Perfect for any art layout or design project.
Cons
  • New Competitors Have Emerged
