The woman I work for, Jinny Beyer, has a quilt that is tesselating cats, and MC Escher has some pretty freakin awesome tesselations, something I have always wanted to create. I know the basic principles of how to make one, now i just have to work on making a good one. Also, I do not know what kind of thing I want to tesselate, or if I can even dictate that at all or if I will have to conform to whatever shape I can create.

Tessellation is very interesting, even if Escher's work is so phenomenally popular that between the posters, calendars, and umbrellas it can be easy to consider it somewhat cliche. It isn't Escher's fault that people would like it so much, but I wonder why we do (and I have to admit to admiring his technical skill and creativity)? There is something maniacal about the density of a successful tessellation, maybe it would be useful to explore that aspect? Possibly through color or the subject you could make the pattern a bit menacing or odd?
