Grids

Weekly challenge number 37 is to use only tangles that are based on a grid. Do a curvy pencil string, draw a grid overall, and fill with tangles. This is something I do in one of my advanced classes and the results are quite interesting.

On my first tile I somehow got an extra section than the string gave me, but I like it.

Tangles: Bales, Dex, Gingham, Florez, Florz, Ninja Stars, Zanella

Laura (the Diva) suggested the idea of curvy grids, so I tried one that way too.

Tangles: Bales, Bateek, Demi, Florz, Puf, Screen

Here are tiles done by some of my students using this same idea.

Tangles: Bales, Cubine (with corners), Facets, Gingham, Screen, Up and Across
