Yeah that’s right, an Icositetragon<\/a>. It’s 24 sided polygon. I’ve made a few<\/a> of these before, but never really got around to finding the actual name given to these polygons. <\/p>\n

Originally titled “Sears Tower Quilt” when I started making it, I realized that the Citicorp Center<\/a> created an interesting artifact in it’s reflection, so I went with it- 24 times to be exact. It creates the white “circle” in the center. However, in the process of making the polygon, the Sears Tower was pushed out of the frame and I opted to name it Northwestern Station Quilt. I’ve chosen to not use corporate naming convention (aka “Citicorp Center Quilt”) because over time the name will change (if the building is sold or comes under new management), and I’m betting the colloquial naming will last longer.<\/p>\n
