This is a modification of the well-known tessellation of the plane with squares and regular octagons.

A Rhombic Triacontahedron, Covered with Tessellations
The tessellations of the faces of this rhombic triacontahedron first appeared in my last post here. For putting the whole thing together and creating this rotating .gif, I used a program called Stella 4d. If you want to, you can try Stella for free at this website.
Two Oblique All-Square Tessellations #2
The first of these used the center of a square as the center of rotation. This one, by contrast, uses an intersection as the center of rotation. In each case, 45 degrees is the angle used.
