Also Sierpinski's Triangle and the Lute's of Pythagoras are very popular for quilt designs.

I'm not sure I feel comfortable with them K...they seem to hurt my eyes!! Well, not all of them, but some do! Anyway..I might try one sometime. I'm soooo math challenged though that they scare me a bit. I'm going to bookmark this thread though for all the great links!
I can't wait to see what you come up with though girl, whatever...I know it will be amazing!
