Parts for fish scale pattern are seen in this photo. A square is created from piecing isosceles right triangles together; the squares are then pieced next to one another. Taneita is created by repeatedly piecing these parts together. The pieces are put together according to the desired pattern and it is fundamental to pay attention to the angle of the pieces.
