Patent ID: 8141214

Claim:
A method of making a textile pattern, the method comprising: forming a design module, the design module having a substantially square shape; forming a motif from the design module, wherein forming the motif from the design module comprises repeating the design module to form a unitary array of design modules, wherein adjacent design modules of the unitary array of design modules are contiguous with one another, and wherein the design modules of the unitary array of design modules have various orientations with respect to one another in fixed positions within the unitary array so that a first design module of the unitary array has a first orientation and a second design module of the unitary array has a second orientation, wherein the design module having the first orientation is visually distinct from the design module having the second orientation; and repeating the motif along a length and a width of a continuous textile web so that the continuous textile web comprises a first occurrence of the motif and a second occurrence of the motif, the first occurrence of the motif and the second occurrence of the motif each comprising respective portions of the continuous textile web, wherein the first occurrence of the motif and the second occurrence of the motif each comprise the unitary array of design modules.
