The antique Chinese ceramic-inspired pattern, continued

I've been playing with the elements of the Chinese porcelain platter that I drew earlier this week, to see if I could find a way of using them as part of a textile pattern.  I don't have anything I like yet, but thought I'd share couple of sketches.  The first shows how the octagons might relate to each other, the second shows new and and much more complex detail in the interior of each octagon, incorporating the other three elements of the pattern that I included in my last post.
