a grouping to consider

Here is a homogenous grouping of patterns that may or may not go together. I would sure like your opinion if you have a minute. Which ones seem to belong together? Which look like they need to be eliminated? Would you use these patterns in fabric? gift wrap? wallpaper? ties? t-shirts? computer screen savers? Do you like the colors?

a natural pattern

today's walk on the beach yielded some new ideas for textures. 

jekyll island sand pattern

and the darker side

Jean supplied 6 colors for this pattern. Warm Gray 11, periwinkle, persimmon, tan and yellow orange. The warm gray didn't work so I substituted a dark brown. These colors give the pattern a completely different feel. I'm seeing jazz clubs and swing jackets.
