Transformations in Quilts. Quilts. The major characteristics of many quilt designs are patterning and symmetry. Quilt are often made up of blocks. The design come to form individual blocks, that use color and shape patterns and symmetry, which h are repeated on a quilt top.

Quilts • The major characteristics of many quilt designs are patterning and symmetry. • Quilt are often made up of blocks. The design come to form individual blocks, that use color and shape patterns and symmetry, which h are repeated on a quilt top. • Sometimes , the designs in a quilt are also bases on a mathematical process called a transformation.
Transformations A transformation is the movement of a shape in a plane-a flat surface on which a straight line can connect any two points of the area (think of a quilt laid flat as a plane).
Transformations • Shapes on a plane ( or a quilt top ) can move in three ways.
Translation • In a translation, a shape is slid a given distance in a given direction so it looks like an exact duplicate of itself.
Reflection (uses symmetry) • The second kind of transformation is the reflection. • This is the process of flipping a shape over a mirror line.
Rotation • The Third kind of transformation is called a rotation. • Rotation is the process of turning a shape a give direction and angle about a fixed point.
