Happy Pi Day!

To quilty engineers, scientists, Pi lovers everywhere,
Happy Pi Day!
 
I am a chemical engineer and got my degree at Carnegie Mellon University (known to be a super nerdy engineering school). We did not have many of your typical college parties, but holidays like Pi day (March 14th for 3.14) were always huge celebrations.

Students spent most of the night writing out the thousands of digits of pi on the sidewalks all through the campus. I always try to celebrate pi day now with a celebration including some pie.

A bunch of years ago, I made a pi quilt for my engineer husband containing 49 paper pieced digits of Pi and I thought that I would post it again for the occasion.  You can find the Paper Pieced Numbers and Pi Quilt pattern in my shop if you would like to make your own.


Go have a piece of pie today to celebrate Pi Day :)

  5. Belated Happy Pi Day! My power was out all day during the massive snowstorm that dumped 34" here. It was also my birthday. I couldn't have my pizza pi but the frozen slice of pi thawed well. I have your pattern and will make it sometime.
