as a guide I substituted The three
axis worksheet from Cyclogon and tried a tiling
axis worksheet from Cyclogon and tried a tiling
section. The twist fold was strange but I was
hooked. I recently watched "The Origami Revolution" and ever since I've wondered if there wasn't a twist fold quilt possibility.
The twist fold lattice to left is several copies of the first test taped together (still on the Three axis worksheet). The red lines are folds, the green rhombus s are areas that are hidden in pleats, and the blue are the triangles that twist.
Sewing is more of a project than folding, and I still hadn't seen the cell of the lattice work yet. Chubby Checkers would be proud, it does the twist! OK, now I'm twisting and involving a whole plane. Can I make the the twisty bits involve more of the area? The first version extended a mountain fold from each triangle point four intersections and made another triangle. This time I only went two.
The background grid may seem a little cluttered but I already got it and I'm pushing forward after understanding not neatness. Again the green areas hide in the folds and the red lines are on the main folds, mostly to keep track of them.
Now we're talking. This is looking sew-able. It also looks like what Ron Resh was talking about in his excellent video which I recently failed to understand very well. He mentioned simplifying the polygons, and in this last test I can see what looks like squares (almost) regular hexagons and regular triangles.
Thanks Ron. I'm gonna stick with the proportions from the grid (because it lays so flat), but I think I've got enough to sew a test quilt now. Juxtapose yer phalanges!
