LOGO Challenge - the Humble Square
Let's begin by looking at the "humble" square. Below is the pattern reproduced after three stages of development :
What would subsequent stages of development look like?
If instead of squares equilateral triangles or regular hexagons had been used?

Four small squares?
A larger square?
Sets of four small squares in a larger square?
Look at how the pattern is built up - in that way you will know how to break the final pattern down into more manageable pieces.
