The higher equality structures of homotopy type theory (HoTT) lend the field to topological interpretations in visualizations. In this work, we take these interpretations to their logical extreme in the development of PieceWork, a programming language to represent sewn quilts. We leverage several layers of equality to represent quilts as geometric shapes which can be manipulated in several ways, such as cutting into smaller shapes or sewn together to form an intricate design.
