Each colour terracotta block tessellates with itself to create patterns of four blocks. Several share similar colours and shapes. If each tessalated with one or two other colours of terracota block it would allow them to be used to create larger mosaics rather than repeating patterns of four tiles.
I know members of the community struggle to use these blocks, partly because they only tile in even numbers and many builders prefer odd numbers. This idea would fix that issue.

Here you can see Capt. Sparkles trying to make the kind of patterns I would like to see further implemented. I imagine only minor tweaks would be needed to each block to improve the way they match at the edges.
