Not feeble at all, Seagull, although you're right—it makes me lean a little to the right while looking at it!

Free yourself up a little, seagull. Make the pattern elements different sizes and don't be afraid to nudge some elements off the background. In the tutorial, I wanted to suggest that a pattern doesn't have to look regularly spaced.

Frances just posted a nice one that looks asymmetrical. It's one of many ways to go; have fun, let's see some more from you, and thanks for posting!

My Best,

Gary
