geometric pattern generator for old Macs
While looking for something else entirely, I came across the "Kali"
tiling pattern generator for Classic MacOS. It creates patterns based on the 17 different plane symmetry groups. Within about five minutes of initial tinkering with it I came up with this: http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliHex.gif which looks like it ought to have potential as a quilt design, albeit not that easy to machine-piece. I couldn't get Kali to run on the Classic environment on MacOS X. The software (along with other things that run on other and more modern operating systems) is at http://www.geometrygames.org ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |

Ooh! that's beautiful Jack. I'd love to have a go at it.
May I try? .. In message , Jack Campin - bogus address writes While looking for something else entirely, I came across the "Kali" tiling pattern generator for Classic MacOS.

Cool! Have a look at this, so appropriately named:

Kali4Star looks to me to be easiest to put together!
Everything is relative of course!! Perhaps I could try that one too? If I manage to get anything sensible done, I'll post pictures. I'll just finish the baby quilt I'm doing, then have a go. Thank for the interesting drawings Jack. .. In message , Jack Campin - bogus address writes Show us a picture when you're done?

Not as straightforward as it looks: http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/Kali2Squares.gif This looks doable if a bit weird: http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliParallelograms.gif But you can easily generate designs that look neat but would be insanely difficult to put together: http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/Kali4Star.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliOverlapSquares.gif ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

This is a melon with a strip pieced rectangle on the sides. Not too bad
other than matching the seams at the angles... and some partial seams. http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/Kali4Star.gif Not my kind of project, tho. Whew! Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

Wah! I can't make myself see it any other way. The melons just keep
jumping out at me. Pat, can you explain what you see? Please? Having studied your book I'm curious how your clever mathematically inclined mind sees it. ;-) Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.

That's very similar to the top that I bought at an auction and
hand-quilted. The top was pieced by hand, and many of the fabrics were from feed sacks. It's toward the bottom he http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/default.html I called the pattern "Friendship Chain" though I'm not sure where I got the name -- I'm sure I did some looking through websites, etc. It's got several other names in Barbara Brackman's book.

First of all I saw it as a star with kite shapes in between each pair of
points and diamonds at the sides! Then I could see a snowballed square with pieced rectangles set along the sides sewn with a partial seam. I can't see a melon at all g ..

Having studied your book I'm curious how your clever mathematically inclined mind sees it. ;-) I see it as a bunch of four-pointed stars with lozenges filling in the spaces between them. But those lattice patterns can always be seen in lots of different ways. Have a few more - all of them made out of simple block shapes but not lined up in obvious ways, with no seams running right across: http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliHexTriangles.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliBorderedTriangles.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliHexPinwheels.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliBorderedOctagons.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliOverlapDiamonds.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliBandedDiamonds.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/Kali2Diamonds.gif Some of the patterns you can get look like they might be useful as qulting patterns rather than for patching: http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliHexMeander.gif http://www.campin.me.uk/Pix/KaliSawtoothQuilting.gif ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts |
