if you made up a number of submodels that had the various variants of colors
in the 4square of bricks, you could use those to piece together the patterns.
Rev, is that what you did? Or what? can you share some of your dats? Maybe
people will get motivated! It could be like quilting!

Hi, Larry.
I was curious to see if other builders would figure out how these were made.
Your description above sounds about right. For anyone interested, I’ve thrown
together a little tutorial to spell it out. If it inspires others to come up
with new and interesting patterns, great! I’d like to see what other people
come up with.
Here’s the intructions:

The quilting comparison is kind of cool. Hand’t thought of it like that. If
people really dig these headlight mosaic patterns, you could easily set a
standard like the 1,024 brick square. Then at gatherings like Bricksfest,
people could bring their squares and join them all together into an enormous
“quilt”.
One of the coolest things about these headlight mosaics is that they are totally
reversible. Smooth on both sides, with one side being a mirror image of the
other. Seems like there’s great potential for someone to do a two-sided Eric
Harshbarger-esque mosaic out of headlight bricks. Of course, that would take a
lot of bricks.
Some of you may have already seen these, but I added a couple more patterns to
this page after first posting about it:

Down at the bottom you can see my attempt at an MC Escher-esque mosaic where one
pattern sort of morphs into a different one.
