texture patch help

Could someone help me with the texture patches? I've tryed connecting them to sprite / sphere's etc.. but nothing is connecting! I know I'm missing something basic here, I suspect they have got to feed into another patch before I can connect up.. but what?

Any help much apprchiated ... Thanks MArk
