In our fast-paced world we are constantly confronted with split-second decisions and incoming events that tax our already weary minds.

How about an iPhone game that allows quiet contemplation and elicits inner peace?

Pattern Blocks is a game that lets you drag blocks around to create interesting mandala-like designs. It is based on an actual set of antique blocks that I played with as a child on my grandmothers living room floor.

You can print your designs, save a snapshot to the photo album on the iPhone or iPod Touch, share them on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or email them around the world.

You can also flip the current pattern over and display the backside of the current blocks.

You can also load and save designs to the "gallery", allowing you to keep your favorite designs and modify them later.

Pros and cons of Pattern Blocks app for iPhone and iPad

Pattern Blocks app good for

Please please can you make this an iPad app? Also, can you give a few different grids, 3x3, 9x9 etc? As a bonus... Make more blocks that are double the size. It would be so perfect for my quilting addiction! Thanks! SE
Recreation of a game from mid-20thC. Gives this old fart a warm fuzzy.

Some bad moments

Ive really enjoyed using Pattern Blocks, especially when Im stressed out about something. The ability to create very tactile patterns to match my mood is soothing. A well executed program, great for visual people.
For those of us who cant draw at all, structured design is awesome! Great job, Nerdworks! Lots of fun for me and my daughters.
Im part of a likely minute subset of Ipod Touch users who also quilt. I find this simple and enjoyable. Also good for school age kids.
Very comforting to play Pattern Blocks. Sometimes simple is best.
I remember playing with these blocks also! I have one big suggestion.....create lots of blocks with different colors and patterns! You could even charge .99 for a group of patterns, OR the ability for users to color or create patterns on our own. It would be like making a quilt for those of us who are unable to sew. Thanks for the memories!
Did not enjoy this at all. Very boring to me. Not a challenging game
