Drafting the Sri Yantra Center

So, why exactly did I do a Sri Yantra quilt in the first place? Well at the time I was studying yoga with my friend Madhuri and I randomly offered to make her a quilt. Little did I know that this whole project would take me exactly a year and it would be pretty big year for me in the” life events” category as well. I was very happy with the finished quilt as was Madhuri. She even let me enter it in some quilt shows which was tons of fun. My payment, free yoga for life, such a deal.

If you want to know more about the Sri Yantra as a symbol you can start here. Personally, all this philosophy stuff just gives me a headache. When Madhuri showed the pattern to me I just started trying to figure out how to make it. What can I say? I’m a quilter.

Let’s start with the center. The pattern I am using is @ 21” across. If you are interested in this center pattern just leave a comment in the comment area and I will e-mail you with the details. If you want to draft one in a different size, I used the directions I found here. It’s very tricky and the explanation is sketchy. I found that once I followed all the directions I just had to start making triangles by looking at the picture.

Hello, I tried to follow the directions for drafting my own Sri Yantra. It was pretty frustrating. If you're still willing to send out your pattern, I'd like a copy of it.

Thank you!

i am in love with this quilt design. I would truly appreciate having directions on how to make it. I have taken up quilting again and would love to apply my yoga practice to my quilting practice. Quilting is very yogic. How awesome to combine the sri yantra design into a quilt.
