This pattern is a variation of "Not the Zipper". The main difference is that the pentagons have sides half the length of the triangles. They share only one vertex now. The negative space of a single loop reminds me of a windmill--hence the title.
A way to understand the generation of this image is to start with a triangular checker board of orange and purple then elaborate it using the following visual replacement rule.
This blog is devoted to patterns made with polygons. I'll try to have something interesting posted regularly.
