You tend to drag shapes down instead of continuing them along the same path, and none of the background in areas on the left was black, so you have a very visible border on your tile.
I think you leave things too sparse and undetailed; in this quilt, almost all you can do is texture. Plus, every tile should really add more elements, rather than continuing most and ending a few.
This tile is from Abstractive

Comment: Just trying to continue on from the border a bit.

Almost got it
Re: Almost got it
I know, I just don't know how to think in terms of adding in new elements. Don't ask why... because I dunno.
Texture is great, but it's not really one of my strengths and as such, whenever I try to texture something, it tends to look messy/crap/worse than what I'm capable of.
As for the black areas, probably my eyes & monitor's fault there... really dark colours throw me and almost always look totally black to me... until they get into the quilt, then they look brighter. :/
I don't see why I must add new elements though. Some people create new stuff, other people destroy. >:)
Seriously though, my theory is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... generally because I always seem to make things worse if I try to add anything.
