What a beautiful Tessellation!

I have finally finished it! Even with instructions and pictures this thing was a beast to do. I don’t want to give anything away, but there are some steps that just take lots of practice and experimentation, or just plain luck. I think tis took me about four hours to complete altogether. Of course I mixed in some computer gaming and Carl’s Jr. (if you don’t know what that is I subject a visit).

I hope that the next time I make this pattern that I (1) can remember how to do it and (2) that I use bigger paper next time. Much bigger paper. The one seen here is a 8.5 inch (216 mm) square. I divided the paper into a triangle grid of 32nds before starting. Overall, it was fun to make. You really get rolling once you have the pattern down. Before you know it you have run out of paper.
