Diamond, Harlequin & Argyle Patterns in Adobe Illustrator - A Graphic Design for Lunch™ Class

Wonderful work Julie. These patterns look just great. I love the seasonal mix of the green, red and white. Thank you for posting your project.  Now as to your question, I have a class on working with patterns that includes details for saving them. This is the class: <a class="url" href="https://www.skillshare.com/classes/design/Illustrator-for-Lunch-Pattern-Know-how-Install-Transform-Recolor/1828111652" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.skillshare.com/classes/design/Illustrator-for-Lunch-Pattern-Know-how-Install-Transform-Recolor/1828111652</a>  In Part 2 (the 3rd video) I explain how to save a pattern as a file which you can then open anytime so you can use the pattern again. I suggest you watch at least that video and let me know if you still need any help. The rest of the class explains how to scale, rotate and also recolor patterns which might be of value to you too.

These were lots of fun to create. Is there a way to keep the swatch to use in a different project? Thanks for the lesson.
