Quilts



Two-Color Hexagonal Quilt Designs



Click on images to enlarge. For each of the patterns shown, symmetries either preserve or interchange colors. For more information see technical background. Throughout we follow the naming conventions for the 46 two-color quilts that are described in Symmetries of Culture, by Washburn and Crowe.
