Becoming Creative: How I Designed a Quilt with R
summary
Design uses R to generate a 2D projection of a 3D landscape with geom_polygon() and generative art techniques, then translates that into fabric via foundation paper piecing. A Stanford paper’s hypergraph method checks whether a block is pieceable and outputs the sewing order, solving the y‑junction problem that breaks naive patterns. Result is a constructed quilt (a ggplot rendered in fabric) that mostly works, with remaining work to auto‑generate patterns and choose fabrics.
