I think it's kinda funny that most of the tessellations are just using pentagons to make other shapes that tessellate naturally. I suppose the same could be said of most tessellations though, but it's still interesting.

I'm always so grateful when others post links through paywalls, so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group Now trip the f*ck out to some badass patterns :)
