Fractal pentagon star
If you start with a regular pentagon and extend the sides out until they intersect, it forms a 5 pointed star around the outside of the pentagon. Joining the tips of the stars forms another pentagon around the outside of the star, which in turn can form another star by extending the sides of the hexagon. This is a pentagonal fractal star block with 3 iterations of pentagons and stars. The colours were chosen to match a block by a friend for a quilt block and swap in August 2016 and keep reminding me of a pastel version of the stars on the American flag.
