Paper Piecing Pi

My family is full of nerds.  My father, son and 5 of my siblings are engineers.  My nephew falls into the same category, and he graduates from high school in June.  When I saw these fabrics, I knew I had to use them in his graduation quilt.

I had the perfect fabrics, then began the search for the perfect pattern.  I found it in Meadow Mist's Pi Quilt.  The numbers are all paper pieced.   I chose to use the large 5" x 7"  numbers instead of the small ones she used.  I estimate that it took me 25 hours to complete the numbers. So many 3s, 6s, 8s and 9s made it challenging!

I still have to do the sashing and borders, but the numbers are done!
