Modular textile system

A method of making a modular textile system, the method comprising:

• forming a textile web, the textile web having a length and a width, wherein forming the textile web comprises forming the textile web so that the textile web includes a plurality of design zones across the width of the textile web, the plurality of design zones each extending along the length of the textile web;
• and
• dividing the textile web into a plurality of tiles, the plurality of tiles being substantially equal in size and including a first tile, a second tile, and a third tile positioned across the width of the textile web, wherein dividing the textile web comprises dividing the textile web so that
• the first design zone is apportioned between the first tile and the second tile, so that the first tile and the second tile each include respective portions of the first design zone, and
• the second design zone is apportioned between the second tile and the third tile, so that the second tile and the third tile each include respective portions of the second design zone,
• wherein the first design zone of the first tile differs in appearance from the first design zone of the second tile.

A method of making a modular textile system, the method comprising:

• cutting a textile web having a length and a width into a plurality of tiles, the plurality of tiles being substantially equal in size and including a first tile, a second tile, and a third tile adjacent to one another across the width of the textile web, wherein the textile web includes a plurality of discrete design zones, the plurality of design zones each comprising a portion of the width of the textile web and extending along the length of the web,
• wherein cutting the textile web comprises cutting the textile web so that
• a first design zone is apportioned between the first tile area and the second tile area, so that the first tile and the second tile each include part of the first design zone, and
• a second design zone is apportioned between the second tile area and the third tile area, so that the second tile and the third tile each include part of the second design zone,
• wherein the first design zone contains a motif that is not included in the second design zone.

A method of making a modular textile system, the method comprising:

• apportioning a textile web into a plurality of tile areas, the textile web including a plurality of discrete design zones positioned along a width of the textile web, and the plurality of design zones each extending along a length of the web, wherein the plurality of tile areas are substantially equal in size and include a first tile area, a second tile area, and a third tile area positioned across the width of the textile web, and
• wherein apportioning the textile web into the plurality of areas comprises apportioning the textile web so that
• a first design zone is apportioned between the first tile area and the second tile area,
• a second design zone is apportioned between the second tile area and the third tile area,
• wherein the first design zone comprises a motif that is absent from the second design zone;
• and
• cutting the textile web so that the first tile area, the second tile area, and the third tile area respectively define a first tile, a second tile, and a third tile of the modular textile system, so that
• the first tile and the second tile each include a portion of the first design zone, and
• the second tile and the third tile each include a portion of the second design zone.
