What I did, because I didn't have loose elements, was draw my design first, just made sure to not go over the edges,
then I put rulers in place with two center guides (x and Y) with snap on selected top half, pushed bottom half up, pasted top half at the bottom, again using snap to make sure they were in the right place
did this again with left and right and then all I had left to do was connect the former outsides now in the center to make the pattern whole. created a bitmap and made an object.
then loaded my bitmap into the bitmap fill and selected tiled.
sort of an inverted 4way kaleidoscope if you will.
