    TO borrow parts from others what about "Turbulent Storm At Sea"?

    I like to First one, you could also call it "Cross Current".

    Neither is right or wrong. They are simply two different versions of the same design. Google STORM AT SEA and you'll find both. Some like the double, I prefer the single. The yellow is interesting though. I've always seen the blocks in various shades of blue, which would be my preference, but the yellow is eyecatchine.

    thus the name STORM AT SEA!

    Is there a reason to change STORM AT SEA'S name? Both patterns have long been called STORM AT SEA.

    Personally I would call the "wrong" one way, way cooler - but most likely way, way more work too. Go with what works for you.

    ncredbird,
    I would call it creative karma. I actually prefer the 'mistake'. After all, every vessel needs to dock sometime- and that is what the green says to me. I'm with woody, definately more movement going on in the first one.

    Good luck and have fun.

    best,
    d
    btw- I got a good chuckle out of your siggie line.

    Wow, I don't think it's a mistake, it's a new design - I love the title suggestions of Cross Current and Rip Tide - they both connotate strong water movement, which your design certainly contains. If you decide to make it, please be sure to share it with us!

    I like the "mistake" better. I would call it Double Down.
