If you ever have the opportunity, I bet a tutorial on how to achieve this... or something similar would be really popular. I would definitely use it ;-)
I had a handful of requests to make my patterns available and I finally got around to doing something about it. To make it more flexible, I put together what I'm calling a "pattern kit". There are six variations I made from the base tile, but you can also roll your own.
This is free to use for whatever you want. Enjoy!
As you can probably tell from the "one", I hope to make more of these as time allows.
Special thanks to Chandler Van De Water for the (I think) hilarious name and for testing it out for me.
Update: Chandler has made some nice additions to this, and I've added his version as an attachment.
Wow, I was almost certain that you had used the Illustrator plug-in SymmetryWorks for these patterns. I've been using that myself, and it's absolutely killer! Check out some of the patterns I've made using this plug-in: http://wp.me/pdZFp-103 and my TRIAD series, which is more single shapes, but also made using SymmetryWorks: http://wp.me/pdZFp-11Q

Thanks Hunter, they're part of a client project, but they might not use them. If they don't, I'll definitely look into putting them out there.
Mark – Thanks man, too kind!

@Joaquim I had never even heard of that, but I just Googled it. Looks like it could speed things up a lot, thanks for the heads up!

I like those a lot, Joaquim, especially the TRIAD series. I might have to try it out.
