A checkerboard with its lines bent into slow waves, as on retro and skate designs. The four outside edges stay straight, so it still sits square on the page.

How fine is it at your size?

Scaling a design scales its finest detail too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
