Penrose Stars
by Thomas Dybdahl Ahle · 7 × 7 strips
Date: 1 Nov 2026
A larger crop of the Penrose tiling, with a ring and several five-pointed stars made of narrow red rhombi. Each half has six cuts and so seven strips, cut in many sharp bends. The halves differ, so it takes two templates, and the difficulty is expert. The strips are narrow, so use a sharp knife and take your time, especially near the edge.
