For those who would like to try designing and making a fractal quilt on your own, you might start by reading Rose Rushbrooke's article about fractal quilt making from her website originally posted by k3n.
http://www.roserushbrooke.com/fracta...t-article.html

To find a fractal of your own to translate into a stunning quilt, there are several fractal generator programs available, some free, online.
this one is free, but quite simple and, therefore, limited
http://www.easyfractalgenerator.com/Home.aspx
this one looks to have much more potential and has a free 30 day product evaluation period, cost to purchase the full program is $30 (this site is well worth exploring even if you don't intend to buy...his gallery is amazing, over 500 images all generated with his program...I'm thinking I need this software :oops: )

you can find others if you Google 'fractal generators'

Thanks for those - I downloaded a couple of freewares and didn't get very far - technically challenged! LOL But I'll try these too. The ones I downloaded gave you Newton, Julia and Mandelbrots to play with but what I'd like to do is say start with a photo of my own, of a butterfly's wing for eg like the one in Rushbrooke's design and manipulate that. Guess I have to spend a bit more time and have a bit more patience! :shock: :mrgreen: :-D

I've been fascinated with fractals since I saw a PBS program a few years ago. The trouble is I start looking at them and the next time I'm aware is a couple of hours later. What is it about them, I just love looking at them.
