ABSTRACT
Whole-cloth quilts are decorative and functional artifacts made of plain cloth embellished with complicated stitching patterns. We describe a method that can automatically create a sewing pattern for a whole-cloth quilt from a photograph. Our technique begins with a segmented image, extracts desired and optional edges, and creates a continuous sewing path by approximately solving the Rural Postman Problem (RPP). In addition to many example quilts, we provide visual and numerical comparisons to previous singleline illustration approaches.

PatchProv: Supporting Improvisational Design Practices for Modern Quilting
CHI '21: Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe craft of improvisational quilting involves working without the use of a predefined pattern. Design decisions are made “in the fabric,” with design experimentation tightly interleaved with the creation of the final artifact. To investigate how this ...
Threadsteading: Playful Interaction for Textile Fabrication Devices

Algorithmic Quilting Pattern Generation for Pieced Quilts
GI'19: Proceedings of the 45th Graphics Interface Conference on Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2019Free-motion quilting patterns are functional and decorative patterns sewn on pieced quilts using a single-line continuous stitch path for each region of the quilt. Seven families of quilting patterns are commonly used by quilters [3]. We present an ...
