I finished my first, but definitely not my last, ghost layers quilt. I love
this design technique and the foolproof transparancy effects. Click my URL
below to come see. It's the first quilt.

Nested Disssection facinated me. Do you have a full view - I would love to
see the pattern! I didn't follow all the math involved (it's been a LONG
time since my last math class) but I often used formulas to design my
lts - that is until I got hooked on applique (LOL)

Wow, Susan, that is a gorgeous quilt.
I *love* transparency effects, and this one is stunning.

Here's the pic she's referencing:
http://members.cox.net/kratersge/dissect2.jpg

You really are seeing basically all the "pattern" in the quilt. I'll
try to draw in ascii here and explain better without recourse to math
jargon. The pattern is a 4-block checkboard with an L-shaped frame
around the lower left corner. Like this:

## #####
## #####
## #####
#######
#######
#######
############
############

There's no forcing of symmetry -- you can split the 4-block into
different sizes, as long as the # parts are still square (the blank
parts would be oblongs).

The blanks are black in my quilt. Now, if you impose this
4-block/L-frame pattern on the 2 littler ### squares, you end up with a
tinier version of this pattern within that smaller rectangle. The
actual quilt has done the algorithm 4 times. To find them in the
picture, look for these colors on the "L" part:

The outermost L: medium orchid.
2nd L: darkest orchid -- there are 2 of these Ls
3rd Lale orchid -- there are 4 of these Ls
4th L: gray -- 8 of these w/ little solid carnation pink 4-block
checkerboards

I anxiously await some feedback on *this* incarnation of an
explanation. If finally someone understands it, I'll put it in my
website. I've struggled to explain this to people forever. Makes me
feels stupid that I can't explain.
