I need 6 ways to cut a square in quarters

One more:

a line across the middle, forming two rectangles

a diagonal line in each rectangle, halving them.

That's four!


And another:

a line across the middle, forming two rectangles

a lightning bolt that starts a third of the way along the side of the rectangle, moves out to the middle, makes a right-angle turn and travels along the middle to the two-thirds point, then turns another right-angle and goes to the other side. the result is two L-shaped figures that are 69'ing eachother.

(or make it the one-quarter and three-quarter points, rather than one-third and two-thirds, if you are so inclined)

That's five!
