This is my 4 plus 1 little blanket i am making.I wanted to know how many different flowers could i make using just 4 colours, I came up with 24 different flowers. This is my formula.
Blue = 1
purple = 2
yellow = 3
pink = 4
plus 1 border colour.
each flower has 4 colours and they will be represented by numbers. this is the formula.
4 3 1 2
4 1 2 3
3 4 1 2
2 3 4 1
1 4 2 4
1 4 3 2
2 1 4 3
3 2 1 4
4 1 3 2
2 4 3 1
1 2 4 3
3 1 2 4
2 1 3 4
2 3 1 4
4 2 3 1
1 4 2 3
4 1 3 2
2 4 1 3
3 2 4 1
1 3 2 4
2 1 3 4
4 2 1 3
3 4 2 1
1 3 4 2
This is just with 4 colours, imaging how many with 5 or even 6 colours per flower, or block number, the amount of variations is even greater.
