Why is there a distance from my feature to pattern to the rest in Fill Pattern (img included)?

The feature on the far left was an extrude feature I made from a sketch. I tried fill pattern after selecting the face on the right of the feature that the feature is extruded on. However when I went to ~ quarter inch distance between the fill patterns, there is that distance you can see in the image from the from the feature to be patterend. Why did this occur? I simply want the plane filled with quarter-inch equidistant extrusions as shown on the right, but there's that random distance for some reason. Any ideas?

Any help is appreciated!
