Jesi
This design is based on a two-colour motif, inspired by the diamond ashlar patterns of many Italian historic facades, such as the Palazzo Ricci in Jesi. I rotated the square motif 45°, creating an equilateral rhomboid, which I then divided in two: half in light, half in shade. Adding a smaller rhomboid motif, in which light and shade are swapped, lends an interesting 3D effect to this rhythmic pattern.

Pattern notes
