Author and self-proclaimed geek, Alexandra Winston, transforms various scientific disciplines into vibrant quilt designs. Extrapolating from ideas such as states of matter and calculus, each of the 9 quilts and 3 smaller projects has a story, lesson, and idea that exemplify its science-inspired design. The author also illustrates the simple "scientific process" of quilting with step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and various hypotheses for customization. This mind-expanding book will encourage you to find inspiration in unusual places and may even teach you a thing or two!
