Today I updated the Design / Size A Quilt Calculator. I added two more features suggested by subscribers:
- The first new feature is the addition of results for Sashing Without Cornerstones. This is actually horizontal rows of plain sashing between the block rows, shown in blue. Piece strips together to make one long strip. Measure the quilt width an cut each sashing row to that length. Additionally, there is sashing between the blocks, shown in yellow.
- The second new feature is the addition of results for 108″ wide backing fabric. This calculation applies to quilt tops up to 100″ wide and 100″ tall.
There is no need to check additional options in the calculator. Theses features are simply calculated and the results shown with all the others.
Using the Size A Quilt Calculator
No matter if you use rotary cutting methods or the AccuQuilt Fabric Cutting System, this quilt calculator starts you on the right foot when designing your next quilt project.
Simply add the block width and length. Next, add or change the numbers for the block setting. Add optional sashing or border widths. Results are instantly displayed and change and you enter or change the input values. Results include:
- Actual quilt finished size
- Number of blocks needed. This number is used in many other quilt calculators on this site to calculate fabric requirements.
- Fabric requirements and cutting instructions for:
- Binding

- Sashing Without Cornerstones
- Sashing With Cornerstones
- Borders both crosswise and lengthwise cuts
- Backing, both 44″ wide fabric and 108″ wide backing fabric.
