Models of this type are also automatically listed in: abstract modular, abstract, geometric, modular, multi-sheet, pattern

These are modular origami models which create a one-dimensional structure (as opposed to quilts, which are two-dimensional). Such models can usually be extended to arbitrarily large numbers of units. By connecting the two ends, a chain can be transformed into a closed ring, but structurally I treat this as just a variant of the same model.
