           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.
