Fabric Matching App that Visualizes Perfect Quilt Combinations for Hobby Quilters ($5M ARR)

Quilters spend hundreds of dollars on fabric that often sits unused because they can't confidently match colors and patterns. This app scans your existing fabric collection, analyzes your style preferences, and instantly generates visual previews of how different fabrics will work together in your chosen quilt design. Upload photos of fabrics you already own or browse the integrated marketplace of 10,000+ patterns. See exactly how your quilt will look before cutting a single piece. The app eliminates costly purchasing mistakes and saves hours of manual matching time. At $19/month, the service targets the 3.5M active quilters in the US through: * Quilting Facebook groups (267K+ members) * YouTube tutorials (90K+ views) * Partnerships with fabric shops The growth path includes: * Start with core color/pattern matching * Expand to pattern design tools * Connect with fabric retailers for direct purchasing * Add premium features like trend predictions and vintage pattern digitization * Build a marketplace where quilters sell successful pattern combinations The $5M ARR business emerges by capturing just 2% of active quilters at $19/month, plus additional revenue from marketplace fees and fabric store partnerships. This app gives quilters the confidence to create beautiful pieces without the anxiety of expensive mistakes.
