I'm know I'm not the first person to 'invent' and play around with these tiles, and I know I won't be the last one! I'd be very interested to see the results of any lesson or activity you do involving these tiles. Corrine, of course.

I teach art to at risk elementary school students and would love to bring this project into the classroom as part of a textile design project. May I have permission to use and adapt this lesson? Thank you for the beautiful project. It is very inspiring. This is a beautiful project blending art and math.

This pattern is fantastic, and there are so many ways to combine it, which makes it perfect for the technique I will be using, which is known as 'canework' or 'millefiori'. I hope it is OK if I use this pattern in my polymer clay tutorial blog (Dora's Explorations; dorasexplorations.wordpress.com My last cane design, BTW, was based on Bahaskara's Behold!, so it appears that math and canework are very compatible.
