The PatchPals cast
Each friend shows you one idea by how they act. Meet them all and see how the ideas fit together.
-
Tila The whole square - a gentle tortoise whose shell is a patch-grid; the finished quilt is made of its parts, and the parts always add back up to the whole -
Miro & Moro The twin strips - two otters exactly the same size, one just turned the long way; two matching ribbons is the idea of TWO-of-the-same, the coefficient 2 -
Kerf The cut - a gentle beetle whose snip cuts the big square into a small square, two matching strips, and one tiny corner; WHERE you cut is how the whole splits into its parts -
Broody Making it bigger - an owl who grows a square by adding a strip along two sides and one tiny corner; a bigger square is the old square plus its growth -
Parra The spatial word - a parrot who says WHERE a patch sits (corner, beside, above, top, bottom); naming the place is how you find it
