Some of Irena Swanson's Mathematics-related quilts
This is commemorating the special program in Commutative Algebra
at MSRI, 2002/03.
Depicted are David Eisenbud (upper right),
Lucho Avramov, Bernd Sturmfels, Karen Smith, Craig Huneke.
"Mandelbrot set" was the winner in the Fractals category
of the quilt block design contest sponsored by IEEE Spectrum,
published December 1998.
This is my Ph.D. committee, 1992:
Craig Huneke, Luchezar Avramov, William Heinzer;
Ian Aberbach is not photographed, but he is on the quilt.

All the possible semiregular tesselations of the plane:
all shapes are regular n-gons
and the configuration at each vertex is the same.
(Hm, I rotated the picture, but html does not seem to recognize that!?)
