I was messing around with some 2x2 macaroni bricks the other night and made a cool pattern, but I didn’t
have enough bricks to fully flesh it out, so I fired up ldraw. Once I had
the first pattern, I couldn’t help but try my hand at a few more:
I don’t know if these have as much potential as

It clearly reminds me some Penrose Tilings
 , Escher works
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/logo/ and Alhambra art.
Unlike Penrose tilings, your tiling is based on the number 4 and 90° angles.
(due to the Macaroni part geometry). Quite the same for Erling brick (for the
same reason). Both of them (could) lead to fractal patterns.
A challenging way of research with LEGO parts are odd number geometry (5,7) in
mosaïcs, Technics,...i’m wondering if it exist a LEGO part that does naturally
lead to an odd geometry.
