invert optional. If you have a 512x512 image (nearly 142 scale for bricks2, 59.0) scale would be fit into it seamless.
At placement you should select equally distributed. In General you should check seamless and can change the other options to your wishes.
When you are ready click ok and expect some waiting for rendering.

A similar function to this in gimp named offset . navigate to Layer → Transform → Offset to create patterns, than use clone ... result should look like this:
