1. We have 20 patches in our quilt.
2. We have 40 small triangles in our quilt.
3. We have 24 big triangles .
4. We have 3 12-triangle hexagons. Inside the horizontal hexagon in the 3rd & 4th row, there is a windmill!
5. Inside the vertical hexagon that is in the 1st and 2nd patches of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th rows, there is a 8 triangle hexagon!
6. We have 7 parallelograms.
7. We have 3 flying geese. A flying geese has 4 small triangles which make 2 parallelograms. We made a "code" for the flying geese. The code is: f.g. = 4 s.t.
8. We have 4 windmills. A windmill has 8 small triangles or 4 big triangles. We made a code for this.
The code is : wnd. = 8 s.t. or wnd. = 4 b.t.
We also made an "code" to help you find the location of the 1st windmill.
The code is: 1st wnd. = (A patch + B patch in 1st row) + D (patch + C patch in 2nd row).
We made a code to help you find the 3rd windmill. The code is: 3rd wnd. = (2nd p. (A) + 3rd p. (B) in 3rd r.) + (2nd p. (C) + 3rd p. (D) in 4th r.
9. We have 24 big triangles.
10. We have a pattern of patches by rows that goes:
[A(1+2) B(3+4) A(1+2) B(4+3)]
[C(5+3) D(1+3) C(5+3) D(1+3)]
[B(4+3) A(1+2) B(3+4) A(2+1)]
[D(3+1) C(3+5) D(3+1) C(3+5)]
[A(1+2) B(3+4) A(2+1) E(4+3+6]
11. We have a chimalong song pattern of fabrics by rows that goes:
row 1 [1234 2143]
row 2 [5313 5313]
row 3 [4312 3421]
row 4 [3135 3135]
row 5 [1234 2143 6!]
