two patterns

On the drawing we can clearly see how patterns on a different scale fit with each other. We also see two patterns of girig tiles.
  • The grey lines match with a girih pattern and their decorative lines.
  • The red lines match with a pattern of much greater girih tiles.
In followingapplet you can lay the tiles of both scales on the original drawing.
