One of the other patterns from the ventilation lectures I came up with was a kind of calico reminiscent thing. I like it? I think? I’m not sure what I’d do with it, but maybe someone does.
A delicate pattern that, upon closer view, is a bit more scary and relevant than you might have realized! Just remember, wear masks and ventilate.

I mean, it actually isn’t bad as a parlor wallpaper or sheet set for someone who wants to riff off of old-fashioned.
