Playing with Possiblities

I started designing this motif from an element in a friend's mirror frame.  I like what I have, but the question is how to set it into a quilt.

I updated it a little by making the shapes overlap.   I am going to talk below about "feather in" and "feather out" designs.  The extra feather is on the left below.

Then I put it in front of my mirrors to see what happened.

Eight repetitions seems like too much.

5-fold symmetry is nice.

4-fold symmetry with the extra feather in.  I like it.

4-fold symmetry with the extra feather out.  It was better with the feather in.

5-fold symmetry with the feather out. I liked it better with the feather in.

Mirroring with the feather out.  Could be interesting in repeated strips?  I like the feather in as show below that the feather out.

Now I have a lot of possibilities to decide on!
