You can use the clone tool :
- Select the object
- Menu -> Edition -> Clone... -> Create Tiled Clones
- "Symmetry" tab, then "P1 -> translation"
- Choose the number of rows/columns you want
- ???
- Profit
Then, you can fill arbitrary shapes with the result, by selecting all the clones, then Menu Object -> Patters -> Object to Pattern (Alt-i)
Then in any shape you have, you can fill it with this newly created pattern.
