Reflection mode

Reflect both horizontally and vertically
For the reflection mode to work properly it may be necessary to extend the pattern area beyond the canvas.
The quilt pattern tool works better on smaller, isolated fragments than on full layers.
It is advisable to place the original in a corner of the area to be filled with the pattern. Otherwise the resulting pattern may be generated outside the control rectangle.
Maximum number of copies in each direction is over 100. Note that with high number of copies the performance may decrease. The last-used settings (the number of copies in each direction) are used as default for subsequent patterns.
