Hello Quilter!

Quilty pleasures begin here!

What will we design today? I can't wait to get started!

Choose the quilt design or tool you need. Then just follow the prompts.

Block Quilt & CalculatorChoose quilt measurements, block size, sashing, borders, binding, and block count.

Use the guided setup for a block quilt. Choose standard or custom dimensions, enter what you already have, then let the calculator help the quilt fit.

Quilt CalculatorTurning quilting math into child's playColumn 1 shows the measurements from the design boxes above. Column 2 shows the calculator's adjusted measurements to meet the chosen quilt size. Column 3 is your final say: anything entered there overrides columns 1 and 2 when you apply final measurements to the design grid.
Blocks across/down, sashing, border, and binding come from the design boxes above.

Block Design

Inside The Block

Design one block at a time.
This is where your block ideas come to life! Touch the block square to choose and change their shape and/or color.

Block Setup
Log Cabin Test Builder
Build a block grid, click the little pieces to color them, then use Current Block in the Block Quilt Design grid.
Rule: your block design saves automatically in this browser. You can go back to quilt settings, then return to Block Design and your block will still be here unless you clear it. Saving to the library keeps a thumbnail copy.
Quilting Colors
Choose the quilting color to use while building the block.

Patch Blocks

Chapter I

The foundation — grids of equal squares in two fabrics. The only thing that changes between them is how many squares. Tap a block to explore its quilts.

Pieced Blocks

Chapter II

Strips, triangles, and shaped picture blocks. Here rotation becomes a design tool: the same block, turned different ways across the quilt, produces wildly different results. The half-square triangle is the keystone — most star blocks are built from it.

Still to come: the rest of the pieced blocks (strip, economy, snowball, plus the four-color QST — a spinner cousin of the hourglass), then the Star family, then the Log Cabin family — each working just like this.

Mixed Blocks

Chapter III

Blocks that combine squares, strips, rectangles, and simple piecing in one design. These are the everyday quilt blocks that do not belong in only one category.

Custom Quilt Size

Customer Layout

This is the quilt shape built from the customer size.
It shows the blocks, colors, sashing, and borders as a finished quilt layout. Use the Block Quilt Design grid above for exact placement, or click directly in this quilt shape to place the selected color or Current Block.

Medallion Quilt DesignChoose panel counts, target size, sashing, borders, and equal panel-frame spacing.

Medallion planning, stitch by stitch.
Enter the quilt size, panel size, panel counts, sashing, and borders first. Use the Quilt Calculator for the medallion measurement inputs. If the medallion measurements are unknown, choose “No” under “Know Medallion Measurements?” and the helper can calculate the medallion size from fussy-cut suggestions and the other quilt-piece measurements.
