Count me in! I have one sitting on the coffee table, just bursting to get out of the box!! Saving it for a snowy day when I can't get out and don't even want to! But hey--that's also a quilting day!!!

I love jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles and Suduko.

I was also very good at math in school. I think that kind of "math" mind set helps with quilting.

I definitely a quilter and a puzzle lover. I love looking at the subtle variation in a color and play of the light on objects.

I love jigsaw puzzles and crosswords and puzzle games on line. I also do a jigsaw on line at jigzone.com. We're just a bunch of brainy broads. :thumbup:

Quote: Now the question is: If you like to quilt and you like jigsaw puzzles were you good in math in school? Do the 'math people" piece more traditional quilts and the "non-math quilters- do more non-traditional or art quilts?

I won't help you with that theory. I'm good at math (which is very creative -- many ways to get to the answer) but I dislike jigsaw puzzles. I do like crosswords, in moderation, and sudoko I like moderately well. I do some traditional quilting, though never follow a written pattern -- I just look at it and figure out how that can be made. And I like free form, somewhat more arty quilt styles, because you're creating throughout the entire process, as opposed to creating the pattern, and then crafting the execuction.

Well, I quilt and do jigsaw puzzles and I am a math person. i tutor for the local community college. i have also taught many math classes. I always wanted to be an architect when I was growing up, but in the 60's that was a "man's" job. I figure quilting is the same thing with a different medium.

My husband and I love to put jigsaw puzzles together and we also take a double sub. to jumbo crosswords so we can each work a puzzle and then compare answers. I recently found 28 puzzles on craig's list and the lady sold them to me for $15. They are all 750 to 1000 piece puzzles. We have enough to get us thru the winter. As much as I love puzzles, my quilting will not suffer from it. I quilt a little and then put a few pieces in the puzzle. Gets me up and out of the chair about every 15 to 20 minutes. Very good therapy.
