Cottage Star Patchwork Quilt

This site has lots of drawings which show how these shapes we use for quilting designs can be broken up in to more and more shapes to create ever more interesting visual shapes and structures.Go to Dissection Tiling

This is a patchwork quilt plan from the 1950s using stars, diamonds and squares.

I found this selection of quilts at Mishi and her blog with lots more to read and see is Mishi Blogspot
