Hi, This will be a very long post. I have been off Zentangle for a time because of personal reasons, but are trying to catch up on all the Joey challenges. Thanks to all that participated in challenge 177 where I was the guest blogger.

About challenge 178 - I am wondering what was the intention of the person who started this - where each tile supposed to be an entity on its own or was was the tangles supposed to "overflow" from one tile to the next? I have seen both methods. (to try to explain more - my tile 1 is sort of on its own where for the other tiles the tangle started on one tile but ended on the adjacent tiles according to the string.)
