Origami tessellations span the range from relaxingly repetitive to impossibly perplexing, especially when they are folded from crease patterns.
This crease pattern collection has 13 tessellations that cover that whole range while being foldable one twist at a time (none require precreasing, although it can be helpful for a first attempt).
The dominant feature of this collection is unusual uses of trapezoid and rhombus twists.
These tessellations were featured on the Gathering Folds Instagram page in the spring of 2024 and represent a small fraction of Madonna Yoder's total designs.
Several of the patterns have links to video tutorials, and all link to a video of Madonna discussing the pattern and also to a list of suggested patterns to practice first.
The tessellations included are:
- FoldFest Fun
- Cogs
- Open Saws
- Sunflowers
- Riverbanks
- Tumbling Blocks Weave
- Alternating Boulders
- Emergent Triangles
- Lily Pads
- Vortex
- Andromeda
- Constellation
- Nudge
