I guess my Escher inspired chart from this post is a little more unique than I realized. As I was plotting and scheming (there hasn't been any knitting, but there's been a lot of thinking) I realized that the Mon Tricot chart is a stand alone motif. I doesn't repeat. This is what the chart looks like when tiled.
This actually makes me feel a little bit better because I cannot tell you how long it took me to create a motif that properly repeated. Here's my chart repeated the same number of times as the Mon Tricot version above.
Seamless, yay!
Feel free to download my chart if you'd like to use it.

Cool! To me, both the charts look like fishes and birds. : )

I LOVE Escher and I love your chart! Good work! I love it when hard work pays off. (Especially when it's somebody else's!)

I can't even imagine how long doing something like that takes. It's a rocking idea though. Great for Escher fans and knitting fans alike!

Congratulations, all your work to make it a properly repeating pattern paid off. Yours definitely looks more like birds and fishes anyway.

Very cool! I charted up a similar Escher print earlier this summer to use for a pair of mittens for my dad (it's the print with boats and fishes, but the boats look an awful lot like birds with the details removed), and yeah, getting it to tile was quite the feat!
