I created the pattern shown above using 2 tiles in linear arrays.  I would like to restructure the definition possibly using a checkerboard hex-grid to allow the curving pattern to be continuous strips and taper over time.  I am not sure the best/most efficient approach.  Please let me know if more information is needed.  Thanks

I was able to get it figured out but now I am having problems getting the curves to close properly.  I believe it has something to do with the falloff I am using to eliminate the fragmented border pieces.

The final transformation I am trying to achieve involves straightening out the curves as they taper down.  I am assuming this can be achieved with point attractors that re-interpolating the curves as they progress.

I have tried to create the definition for the bouquet made with cones using a polar array, there are two variants but I am facing a problem with both, in one of the definition the endpoints of the cones meet while there is an overlap while the option 2 has cones tangentially arrayed but doesn't seem to meet on a single point. Any suggestions to have a definition which can have all three cones meet at a single point while having no overlap on the edges.
