Design Phase
I started with this tiling:
The red square indicates the final area of the finished quilt.
Then I deflate each rhombus 3 levels:
Then I remove the extra rhombi:
Then I color it to highlight the deccagons:
Patchwork Phase
Like my previous Penrsose tiling quilts, I used the English Paper Piecing method to construct the quilt.
One innovation I came up with was to print the paper pieces with the instructions printed on them:
This helped a lot because on previous Penrose tile quilts I kept getting confused and making mistakes - it's a lot trickier then hexies.
It took a lot of time to add these instruction on each piece, but it saved a lot of headache and now I can skip this step and reuse these pieces if I ever wanted to do this pattern again.

This was my first attempt at hand quilting.
The pattern I followed was this Penrose Tile matcing rule:
