During the late 1980's I used the Fibonacci Sequence of numbers to create a number of patchwork quilts.  I wrote the article below published in "Patchwork and Quilting" Magazine Summer 1990.  A similar article I wrote also appeared in the American "Quilt World"  Magazine.

 

If you have trouble reading I will email a copy.  I currently have fibonacci patchwork templates available to buy.
