I use traditional quilting blocks with horizontal and vertical mirror symmetry and/or 4-fold rotational symmetry as boundaries for the Abelian Sandpile Model. I further experiment with using shapes within the quilting blocks to seed different quantities of sand throughout the pile before allowing the sand to topple and stabilize. I observe that the symmetries of the underlying quilting block are maintained, and that the shape of the original seed can be found in the final stabilized pattern.
