A quilt square 2010-01-07
From Kimi:
A quilt square is stitched along each diagonal to make 4 right triangles. Each diagonal is 12 inches long. ( 1 foot)

Making a blanket 2003-08-13
From Liz:
Please help me figure this out. I am making a blanket the directions call for a piece of material measuring 72"X45". Instead of one piece I'd like to make a patchwork quilt but the squares need to equal 72"X45". Centered on the bottom of the longest edge is an 18" square.

Tessellations 2000-09-17
From Lindsay:
What is the word that means a shape repeated over and over again to make something like a quilt pattern?

Note: I'm pretty sure it is either a fractal or tesselation. Could it be that the pattern itself is a fractal but the entire quilt would be a tesselation?
