When is a Piece of Cheese Like a Brick Wall?

United by a common pattern: 
cheese, a guitar strap, a brick wall, tweed, and shoes!
The conversation started with a fellow weaver telling me that she had seen this pattern on a piece of cheese and was thinking about how to weave it. 


Which reminded me of this guitar strap that I wove. 



Which was inspired by this brick wall that I saw. 



It reminded someone of a twill pattern.
(This photo was taken from a tutorial on how to do a diagonal weave on a Weave-It loom. You can read the tutorial here on this blog. http://abmatic.wordpress.com/2007/09/03/diagonal-weave-on-a-weave-it/ )



And reminded someone else of the tread on his shoes.

When I posted the cheese photo on Facebook, the rest of this just sort of unfolded naturally with the help of my Facebook friends! What say you, Blogger friends?
