You Patch software
 

I am intrigued with pixelated quilts and stumbled across this software.
The software is inexpensive and provides yard, cutting instructions and converts the image in manageable blocks. Has anyone used this software? What are the pros and cons?
thanks

i've seen that too & have same questions ..will follow this thread & hopefully someone has tried it and had positive results with it,

You are not actually purchasing the software, just the pattern, but the price is reasonable. About what you would pay for a commercial pattern.

here's the link https://www.youpatch.com/
the price seems reasonable if you only want to do this once or a few times.
at one time, i actually had a software that would do this... can't remember what happened to it.

Photoshop does it, Paint does it. It is just a filter, on a layer of a resized photo. I don't like to do it because I don't want to tape together 15 pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. When I want to do a portrait quilt, I just take a photo to a copy store that has poster sized paper (those that copy blue prints for architects and home builders.) I ask it to be enlarged and pixilated in black and white. Cost is about $15.00 not $45.00 these online services charge and still give you 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
