And I said I would never need math when I grew up.......

That is why they made that handy calculator that I have seen in the quilt shops. Right? I am terrible at math and struggle all the time to know how much fabric to use for a quilt. I am asking for the EQ for xmas.

Yes, I've often thought that if they had combined home ec and geometry and had us making quilts, I would have been much more inspired to do my geometry homework. But at the time, of course, I wasn't a quilter, so who knows if it really would have helped.
If you are homeschooling, though, it seems to have real possibility.
