Quilt Poems feature visual poems in the layout of various quilt patterns (log cabin, crazy quilt, etc) for placement of the words in pattern.
Quilt layouts are in the quilt.lua file.
The book and other text output content is CC BY 4.0 Deed. The code is unlicensed / public domain.
Created on occasion of NaNoGenMo 2024. I have continued to work on this project including an updated algorithm that minimizes each of the 8 column widths separately, and a separate quilt photo grids project, a daily quilt poems site and a zine chapbook. A separate repo also tracks the latest quilt pattern data.
Example book output (with manually added cover pages and code printout included)
