In the example above, the pattern was rotated 45° to fit the space. To move the
patterns into the preview area, Repeat Patterns 98 was used (notice the reference
point 100 mark in the upper left corner of the block). The patterns are easy to
individually reposition 78 inside the block. If this composite pattern is going to be
used repeatedly, it may be a good idea to group the four patterns, making it one
pattern.
Example 2: Sometimes the patterns need to overlap to provide consistent density.
The individual patterns are harder to identify when they overlap too.
Multiple copies of the pattern were placed by defining the boundary first, then using
Pattern to Boundary 96 four times. Each pattern was moved into the boundary, then
selected, repositioned 78 , resized 77 and rotated 78 to fit one of the four quadrants.
After all four patterns were placed and then they were carefully resized so the
overlaps appear seamless. Again, if this composite pattern is going to be used
repeatedly, it may be a good idea to group the four patterns, making it one pattern.
Example 3: Round patterns placed in square quilt blocks can be problematic. Filling
the corners with a small pattern will improve quilt density. Keeping the corner pattern
simple prevents detracting from the center motif.
In this example, Pattern to Boundary 96 was used for the center motif. Repeat
Patterns 98
was used for the corners. Matching the scale of the two patterns meant
