This pattern is formed arraying five non-regular pentagons on four sides of a square. The tips of these four pentagons define another square which is the base of this tiling.

Playing with the variables, some sub-patterns appear. Looking carefully, you can as well see demiregular tiling of irregular decagons.

Another grid of interlocking octagons
