Symmetrical Rhombus by Translation

This tiling is a step towards thingking about projections of tilings, inspired by some of what Paula Beardell Kling has been working on. The pattern is a rhombus, but with a line of symmetry, tiled by translation. THe translation isn't super interesting movement, but the symmetry of the tile feels like a good restriction. I never know how many edit points to use, but I thought this could have more since you're just editing one side. I do like how it doesn't use any of the vertices of the rhombus!
