I have been playing around to see what patterns I like next to each other.  I selected eight patterns to made two different strings.  I used flukes, onamato, printemps, munchin, shattuck, cubine, hollibaugh
and raddox.  My favorite on the first tile is flukes, love how you can make it jump out with the shading.

 On the second tile, I really like raddox, looks like a curtain.
