I'm looking for a repeat paving pattern that looks random, like Roman/Opus/French bond patterns, but it has to work with just three sizes instead of four.

The sizes are 600x600, 600x900 and 600x1200.

I have a true random pattern for a 4.8x5.6m rectangle but this is tricky to repeat and I like the 'not obvious' repeat pattern like French.

I develop bespoke motifs and random layout plans....at a cost. There's no such thing as a "random pattern": it's either random, or it's a pattern. They are, by definition, mutually exclusive!

Agreed! But French paving looks random until you look closely!

Laying it requires careful attention as it's just not obvious.

I was just looking for some similar motif for a 3 size pack...

I have a true random layout I can replicate or I can just 'free style it' keeping to no linear joint of more than 3m and no 4 corner joints...
