Circling the Crown Origami Flagstone Tessellation

Here is a new flagstone tessellation that I recently created and folded. The starting point is trapezoids and triangles around a central triangle. From there I just expand outward using the shapes that work with the space. 

Because it starts from a triangle, everything repeats 3 x 3 instead of x 6. So 3 sides are a pattern and the alternating 3 sides are a different pattern. The pattern of shapes changes as the design expands outwards because there is more and more space to fill.

Because this is a flagstone, it is a difficult tessellation to fold. The reverse side is full of triangle twists. 

As far as I know, this is an original origami tessellation. I've not seen it done before. 

It occurred to me after I had completed this that the central module can probably be repeated if I flip the trapezoids of the second generation. I started to work that out on some grid paper, but haven't finalized it yet. A tessellation for another day!

I did this tessellation with 28 lb white printer paper. And I already took a photo of the diagram. So it's included. 

I only drew it as far as would fit on my 32 pleat grid. Expanding it further you'd have to map the additional space for yourself.
