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.

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.
