Answer just two questions before creating the pattern:
[1] what should be the size of each piece and
[2] how many pieces should be put into a block for the pattern.

The pieces are imported with Color Hints Mosaics' color tiles to help guide fabric substitution.
Follow pattern to create quilt top.
The pattern is instantly created and is in QuiltSandwich's Journal. Reference the pattern on your device. Save as a PDF or PNG to Share or bring into another app.


Two apps work together to help you transform your image
to create the pixel quilt you imagined!

Color Hints Mosaic app gives you the ability to transform an image into pixelated artwork.
QuiltSandwich app gives you a pattern to reference as you prepare fabric and construct.

Only you know exactly the quilt you want to make. On-line services that promise a pixel quilt pattern are expensive and take the design process away from you. As the designer you should decide and control:
  • Framing of the image
  • Abstraction to pixels
  • Shape of the fabric pixels
  • Number of colors
  • Size of blocks
  • Inclusions of border(s)
  • Quilt top size
