Editor’s note 7/9/2016: As Maggie helpfully pointed out in her comment (thank you), the tool link now takes you to a 404 Error. After much searching, I discovered the Victoria and Albert museum has a new website. When this happens, it often breaks links. I searched their new website and could not find the free patchwork pattern generator. It appears it’s gone for good.
Don’t despair. I found a replacement that is even better!

Editor’s note 11/6/2015:The museum moved the link to the pattern generator. It’s now updated.
The free tool from the Victoria and Albert (V and A) museum can turn any piece of work (your precious photos), into a patchwork pattern that you can then use to create your “other” work of art. You simply select a photo that you want to convert into a quilt, and the tool does the rest.
Get started using this free tool here: Free Patchwork Pattern Generator.
I tested the app and it works. Check out my cat face.
