Complex custum .PAT

Hi,

I need to create a custom hatch .PAT. It is very complex and I need help to realise it. Does somebody can tell me first if it is realisable ?

Thank you

It's impossible to tell from the image whether its "wanderings" are completely random, or whether there's a repeat.  It would be essential for defining a Hatch pattern that there be some regular repeat.  Can you post a larger sample, showing [for example] at what distance and direction that three-lobed closed shape in the middle recurs, and whether what wanders around it does so in a repetitive way?

 

EDIT:  A single Block like this:

with its insertion point in the middle, Arrayed [non-associatively], can make a pattern like that with any kind of random wanderings you like, just by changing the rotation angle of some of them to 90°:

And it has big advantages over a Hatch pattern.  It can contain the color infill instead of only linework, and it can have true curvature instead of needing to be made of only line segments.
