Furey, Wendy G. – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
While repairing a sleeping bag, the author observed that the quilt stitching was unicursal. This led to development of a classroom activity relating the stitching patterns of quilts to the highest common factor of the numbers of "bumps" in each direction. (SD)
