*Shawn’s Comment: The 5th row has A at the end then B next to that then C then D then E.

*Rachael’s Comment: On the top row, it goes ABCDE and on the bottom row it goes EDCBA.

* Joey’s Comment: The 5th row goes one way and the 1st row goes another way. Another ABCDE wouldn’t work in the last row.

*Fiona’s Comment: The 1st row goes ABCDE and the 5th row goes EDCBA, so the 5th row is oppositie of the 1st row. The pattern reverses.

6.We have a diagonal of five Ladybugs that goes from the top left corner to the bottom.

Here is data about our patches:

Most patches: large white dot patches

Least patches: red dot patches

10. Patch #1 is connected from corner to corner and patch #2 has only 4 patches that are touching corners, and #3, #4, and #5 have only two touching corners.

11. We have a prediction that the next patch will be a non patch because our quilt is done.
