Many tangles have a stripe of some sort running through them. I did a tile using five of those tangles, and ran the stripes through the whole tile.

In one of my classes (small mandalas) we use the tangle Tortuca as a ring around another tangle. I tell the students that Tortuca is usually done in a square grid, but that any tangle based on a square grid can be used in a single row, straight or curved. So I did that in the next tile, using several square grid tangles. You can see where I got into a zen flow of filling Cubine's little squares and filled one in Screen too!
