I decided to start with String #43 from TanglePatterns.com Strings Guide, Volume 1 (1-50). I was looking for a string with large round shapes, but I ended up with these nested quadrilaterals instead. I gamely tried Aquafleur. I used the posted instructions for the star shape as my guide, but later I realized the triangle example underneath the step-out instructions would probably have been a good reference as well. Oh well, next time!
To fill in the outer diamond, I decided to try another newly published tangle called Fassett. I liked the ease and versatility of Fassett, and it worked surprisingly well next to the Aquafleur. Now I just need to learn shading to add that extra pizazz.
I finished off the tile with a simple border, and I love the result!
