Two-Color Hexagonal Quilt Designs
Click on images to enlarge.
For each of the patterns shown, symmetries either preserve or interchange colors.
For more information see technical background.
Throughout we follow the naming conventions for the 46 two-color quilts that are
described in Symmetries of Culture, by Washburn and Crowe.
Two color repeating pattern of type p6´ mm´ m (p6m/p3m1) created
using methods based on deterministic dynamical systems.
Two color repeating pattern p3m´ 1 (p3m1/p3)
created using methods based on random dynamical systems.
Sydney Walls.

Cycle of Variations.
Three two color repeating patterns with the same
underlying one color design (shown first). Created
using methods based on random dynamical systems.
