Tessellations
Many people ask "What is a Tessellation?" A Tessellation is the same as a tile- a shape or combination of shapes which will indefinitely cover an area without any gaps or overlaps. Even though we tend to think of Tessellations only as interlocking motifs, any quilt block that repeats itself can be considered a tile or tessellation. But it is interlocking tiles or patterns that are intriguing and once you know how to create them, a whole world of design will upon up. 
Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are Tessellations as they are tiles, that when placed side by side will cover an area without any gaps or overlaps. Next Page |
