The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for streaming portions of a quilted graphic 2D image representation for rendering into a digital asset. One or more digital assets (e.g., audio data, video data, geospatial data, etc.) are encoded as series of graphical representations and quilted into a quilted graphic 2D image representation. Encoding takes redundancies (and possibly also levels of resolution) within successive graphic image representations into account, reducing (potentially substantially) resource consumption when storing and transmitting digital assets. Portions of the quilted graphic 2D image representation can be unquilted and streamed to other computer systems. The streamed data can be decoded at the other computer systems to recreate digital asset portions. Decoding can take the redundancies into account to recreate full (or lower resolution) representations of digital assets from the encoded graphical representations quilted into the quilted graphic 2D image representation.
