Islamic influence geometric pattern

This is my attempt of recreating a geometric pattern I love so much as seen on a lot of Islamic design. I haven’t followed their precise rules but rules are meant to be broken.

In Islamic design, patterns are made up of mathematically precise grids that are based on circles, squares and triangles.  I do also love the curvier, organic arabesque art.  It is historically interesting to learn how each culture has a different view of how art is represented. In Islam, images were not encouraged. For that reason geometric patterns were developed and perfected.
