Tesselation Collection
This little book provides a satisfying variety of patterns taken from tiles, windows and walls. The author provides a repeat analysis for each pattern.

Ebook version is so tiny and barely legible.
I bought the Kindle edition to save money and space. The content looks great but it appears small in Kindle reader. I don’t have the option of zooming or changing the font size. Leaving one star because the ebook version is barely legible and it sucks because I want to see the diagrams in detail but the software itself doesn’t allow me. I am disappointed with Kindle in general.

An excellent book, but it relies too heavily on grids to describe the patterns
I have knocked one star off my review of this excellent book, because it relies far too heavily on grids to describe the patterns. Many patterns are better made using a ruler and compass, and it is a shame that this technique is not illustrated in the book. The book identifies the unit cell for each pattern allowing for infinite tessellation.

Great source book for ideas
If you design your own quilts this is well worth a look. This is padding because Amazon dont like short reviews!
