This is an adaptation of fractal pattern # 515.  It was conceived April 11th 2003.  What do you get from me?  The pattern itself.  The customer is responsible for buying any additional pieces to complete this project.

With pattern dimensions of 480 stitches wide by 360 stitches high this project will need a total of 172,800 flat tiles.  Yep, each stitch will be represented by one 2x2 flat tile.  You can use any two colors you like.  For this project I have chosen white and black 2x2 flat tiles, green base plates, and grey base plates.  How many flat tiles of each color should you buy?  Exactly half of the total needed per color.  Each 2x2 flat tile will snap onto 2 studs horizontally plus 2 studs vertically for a total of 4 studs covered per flat tile.  Why did I choose the green base plate?  Because the Lego company is imposing a limit on how many blue base plates each customer can order.

You'll snap the 2x2 flat tiles onto the studs of the x-large grey base plates.  To hold it all together use the green base plates under the grey base plates.
