Tessellating patterns are repeating designs made of regular polygons that fit together edge-to-edge without gaps or overlaps, where each corner or vertex meets at 360 degrees. Famous artist M.C. Escher often used tessellations in his works, and the document challenges the reader to create their own tessellation pattern.
