How to use the quilt planner
Start on the size chart: it gives the finished size, batting and backing for every bed, so the numbers are settled before you sketch. Use a project page per quilt, paste fabric swatches beside it, and draw the layout on the scale page. The fabric-math tables turn a cutting list into yards and fat quarters. The bed sizes match our quilt patterns and the quilt sizes by bed guide.

Questions about the Quilt Planner
- What is on each sheet?
- quilt sizes at Finished sizes the market makes, the mattress each bed size covers, and what to buy to finish them; fabric math at How many squares each cut size gives, and the yardage for a batch (10% margin included); strips per yard at Strips cut across the width of fabric, for binding, borders and sashing; project plan at One page per quilt: print as many as you need; fabrics and cutting at Pin or glue a swatch in each box; progress and notes at Tick each step off as you go, and 11 more.
- Will it print at the right size?
- Yes, when the printer is set to 100 % (actual size): every page carries a 1-inch test square to check against a ruler.
