Chromosomes!

I found myself in need of a chromosome themed square for a science-y blanket I’m making. After searching for hours on end (okay, maybe an hour), I designed this one. I had no idea designing a pattern could be so hard! I hope anyone who uses this enjoys it.

As this is my first design, I hope it all makes sense.
