It's my fault for directing all input to an alternate mailbox instead of my main address, mostly to avoid spam. Another great pattern got away from me in the cross-inbox shuffle.

I present our collection, now an even 40 patterns!

Where's the one that went missing? Just below flower #5, now moved to the top row of half-diamonds you will see:

• 40 - Beetle, from Alexandra Rule, who responded to my call for more insects last week with this beauty!

Groveling apologies to her for letting her beetle crawl off through inattention and sloth. And thanks to Anonymous, who graciously consented to let her symmetrical pattern be moved to an edge diamond, to make room for Alexandra's design.

That should be all of them. I've scoured my inboxes now, including my spam filter folders. If there are any more out there that haven't been posted, please let me know. And if there's interest in another crowd-sourced project - also please let me know. I'd be happy to collect/collate, provided folk still trust me not to lose input.
