Alternate Tile Set for Mah Jongg ver. 3.3
Tile Set Name: QUILT.TIL
Subject: Quilt Blocks
Created by: Rita Galaska
I too have designed MahJongg tiles purely for enjoyment
and with no intention of making money from them, therefore
have not attempted to give credit or show origin. I believe
most of the block patterns have been in existence so long that
the origins are lost. It was impossible to be exactly
symmetrical with the rectangular building blocks, but I think
it is close enough to give a believable rendition.
Once I came up with the idea of quilts, I became as addicted
to Tilemaker as I am to MahJongg.
The suites have been directly substituted with other suites
as follows:
Baltimore Album (replaces suit of dots). These are samples of the
type of blocks found in the famous Baltimore Album quilts in the
1880's. They do not generally have seperate names.
1 - 9) Album
Traditional blocks on white (replaces suit of bamboo).
11) Jack in the Pulpit 14) LeMoyne Star 17) Flying Dutchman
12) Fort Sumter 15) Economy 18) Anvil
13) Churn Dash 16) Card Tricks 19) Windmill
Traditional Blocks on blue (replaces suit of characters).
21) Log Cabin 24) Double T 27) Storm Signal
22) Weather Vane 25) Bow Tie 28) Dominos
23) Boxes 26) Ohio Star 29) Cross and Crown
Examples of Applique (replaces suit of dragons).
10) Ohio Rose 20) Teddy Bear 30) Sunbonnet Sue
Other methods (replaces suit of winds).
31) Celtic 33) Crazy Quilt
32) Stained Glass 34) Mandala
Wild Cards - whole quilt - shows the way patterns may be varied on
a whole quilt top by changing the directions in which shaded blocks
are placed:
35 - 38) Log Cabins (replaces seasons)
39 - 42) Amish Shadow (replaces flowers)
I hope this gives someone lots of enjoyment, as well as a new
appreciation of the art of quilting.
