I want to find old posts or internet articles about the Fabrioni scale, but I'm sure I am spelling it wrong, so my searches have been fruitless. It concerns the relationship of length to width in art, I think. Any help would be appreciated.

Fibonacci sequence, just googled it and it came up with an explanation. I've seen a quilt fashioned after this, just can't remember where.

I use the Fibonacci sequence in weaving all of the time. It is a series of numbers added together, the effect occurs in nature as well.
0,1,1,2,3,5,8 etc. The last two numbers are added to get the next number. It is a beautiful tool for stripe sequences in weaving. I designed the asymmetrical stripes in this shawl based on Fibonacci sequence.

Leonardo da Vinci did a lot of math work on proportions of length and width in art, esp the human body. He is worth studying.
