Tessellating Patterns: Links

Three-sided shapes will tessellate.

Last year I blogged about tessellating designs for quilts---pattern that fills the surface with just one shape.

Six-sided shapes will tessellate

I also made some Pinterest pages on various categories. Here's an index to my series on Tessellations.

Just in case you wake up one morning and say: One Piece. That will simplify my life!

I started the series on this Material Culture blog.
