in my opinion, this pattern would be better off without the verticle white lines. the lines make it too busy. without them, i can easily imagine this being a central pattern on a line of designer linens!

I agree. Maybe if the lines were finer. Or even a little bit transparent so it looked like a weave texture...could be horrible or great, who knows?

but I do really like your colours and the rough edge on the zig zags

i think it is absolutley wonderful , I want this for my townhouse! very lovely. I think the verticle lines complement the zig zags very well, they make what it is
