Default disordered hyperuniformity in chicken retinas

This looks like an interesting idea for a quilt...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0224124212.htm

....but I've got no idea how you'd do it. Some sort of random
decision maker like a coin flip or dice throw, combined with
some extra rules about keeping identical colours far enough
apart?

Somehow or other chickens manage it.

That looks like a crazy quilt to me (http://cqmagonline.com/vol04iss02/
articles/431/431a.jpg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_quilting) with
about 5 or so priamry colors on a white sheet with the sheet showing
through on a semi-regular basis.

Just goes to show if you see something that looks like it would be an
interesting pattern, someone else probably also has, and has figured out
how to make it.
