Pixelated quilts take a concept familiar in the realm of computer imagery and apply it to piecing a quilt top.
Any fan of Dr. Who can appreciate Krisy Daum of St. Louis Folk Victorian's pixelated masterpiece shown here. She used Pic 2 Pat, a free program that turns images into cross-stitch patterns, to create her quilt.
The Victoria and Albert Museum has a free online program that can assist in turning a picture into a pattern as well.
Cut to Pieces by Angela Pingel features a Super Mario Brothers Quilt Along complete with a detailed explanation of the technique used.
Elizabeth Hartman at Oh, Fransson! made this clever quilt inspired by Space Invaders.
For further instruction, Caro Sheridan teaches a free Pictures to Pixels class on Craftsy.
Construction methods vary, but Elizabeth of Oh Frannson! has a nice guest post at Sew Mama Sew that explains her process for piecing tiny squares quickly.
