nanette, here are some references that might help you:
This is the wikipedia page i was looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilings_of_regular_polygons and you can also look generally about tiling and tessellations.
Also 'Tooling' by Aranda/Lasch can be useful, there is one copy on reserve in the library, and 'Geometric symmetry in patterns and tilings' by Clare E. Horne, which I think that you can also find in the library.
The idea of 'packing' might also be useful...
