geometric pattern generator for old Macs
[ tilings generated with the Kali program on an ancient Mac ]
Oh there are some more beauties here. Thanks Jack. What a find.
I think I'll have a go at piecing a couple of them; but then I think I
might set about a project of several of them - done with English Paper
Piecing. I know there's no challenge then; but I have some lovely ombre
fabric that would look gorgeous with these.
Would that be OK with you Jack?
Of course, go for it. Each one only took me a couple of minutes
of mousing. Our version of the Kali2Squares.gif pattern should
be done shortly and I'll post a photo (it's pieced, not bordered
yet). I deliberately designed it to make the underlying structure
almost impossible to work out at first sight. There obviously *is*
a structure, but somebody used to normal block settings wouldn't
immediately see the trick.
BTW, I got the idea for that quilt from a book - Grunbaum and
Shepherd, "Tilings and Patterns". All kinds of wonderful stuff
in it, and you don't need to read mathematics to see a lot of
what's going on. Probably very expensive now (it wasn't exactly
cheap when I bought it) - buying an old Mac just to run Kali
would almost certainly be cheaper.
