Symmetry
H symmetry- no matter
what way you fold it is symmetrical

M symmetry- symmetrical
from right side to left

S symmetry- always the

same no matter how you turn it

B symmetry- symmetrical
top to bottom

Have you ever looked at a buttery?

Butteries are symmetrical just like quilts. They have M symmetry.
