Abstract
A technique is introduced for constructing infinitely large quasi-periodic origami folding patterns. The technique builds on tiling patterns presented by Penrose and by Wang, where simple quadrilateral tiling shapes are prevented from assembling into periodic arrays by a suitable structuring or coloring of the tile edges. An equivalent edge characterization is obtained by different zig-zag folds in the tile edges.
