Running Bond Pattern

Don't let the curve in this brick path and its intersection with another path fool you: the brick pattern used here is pretty straightforward. It's called the "running bond pattern." Bricks are simply laid out in rows, end to end, in the running bond pattern. All you have to remember to achieve a true running bond pattern is that the "seams" shouldn't line up (if they did, your brick pattern would qualify as a "stack bond," instead).
