For any future Spoonflower surface pattern designers, don't bother with mirrored and half-brick repeat. There's no benefit since both require full-scale patterns to be downsized to 30 cm—might as well mirror/half-brick patterns in your art app first.
Believe me, 160 mirrored and half-bricked patterns later, I definitely learned this the hard way and want to save as many as possible from going through what I just went through.
I'm currently working on designing a floral motif for an art nouveau surface pattern challenge. This is what I have so far, but it's still very rough, as you can tell. Fun to make, though!
