Living in a house full of incredibly smart people, it was only a matter of time until their interests started bleeding into my crafting. There have been cross-overs before with all sorts of fandom paraphanelia, from Star Trek to X-Men.
Now, it’s math.
I mean really, who doesn’t need a paper pieced Pi?
Alright, alright, it was my 11 year old son’s idea! Happy now?
And for the curious…
From Wikipedia:
Pi or π is a mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any circle‘s circumference to its diameter in Euclidean space; this is the same value as the ratio of a circle’s area to the square of its radius.

If you make a Sew Awesome Craft or any pattern, craft or recipe from sewhooked, I’d love to see a photo. Email me or add it to the sewhooked flickr group.
Ohhhhh – love this and being the dorky English major that I was – I also love the alliteration one can draw here…. PIECED PI vs a PIECE OF PIE ~ too clever…
Hehe, it was my 11 year old’s idea. He was obsessed with Pi last year and memorized it to 20+ digits. I’m planning on making something for him with the block. 😀

Hmmm…I’m picturing a math quilt for the FIL…we’ve already given him the “e” and “pi” shirts from ThinkGeek…

G is nudging me for a lunchbox made with this on it… so he can have Pi for lunch, haha!
