See how to fold and cut fabric to get all the pieces needed before cutting
Check yardage after adjusting to your favorite methods
Change a quilt’s size
Figure yardage for die cutting
Easily share quilt plans and design notes

WHY QuiltSandwich? Here’s what quilters tell us -

“I really like this app. Just used it to get cutting layouts for a purchased pattern-wasn’t sure I’d been given enough fabric...”

“Love this app. I use the calculator portion all the time for back size and cutting dimensions and also binding.”

“This is easy to use and the QuiltSandwich Team is quick with replies and help should you need it...”

More QuiltSandwich features:
Download a free pattern from the web site, then edit the fabrics and piece sizes to fit your project.
Design your own Pixel Quilt from a favorite image! Begin with the app Color Hints Mosaic to transform your image into a mosaic as realistic or abstract as you chose. Next, share to QuiltSandwich, setting the size of the pieces (the mosaic tiles) to get a quilt top at the size you want. That’s it!

QuiltSandwich has three main tools and a handful of utilities:

QUILT PLANNER organizes a project’s pieces and fabrics into an at-a-glance summary. Plus -
Color Mix helps you check the color balance by showing you the mix of colors in proportion to each other.
Journal captures your quilt projects so you keep the quilt’s story and pictures after giving the quilt away.
AirDrop lets you share your patterns to another iPhone or iPad with QuiltSandwich.

YARDAGE CALCULATOR figures yardage using finished sizes and creates a cutting diagram that shows how to fold and cut the fabric and get all the pieces. Plus -
Includes sashing, borders, batting, backing and binding.
Just a tap adjusts the cutting diagram for one way design fabrics.
Allowance adjustments for seam, shrinkage and squaring-up.

FABRIC STASH keeps images of project fabric organized with the project. You can even add fabrics before assigning them to a project.

NOTIONS is filled with helpful utilities -
Shopping List for pieces that don’t yet have a fabric or whose yardage is ‘short’.
Fabric List PDF with all the fabrics in a quilt project, noting pieces that do not yet have a fabric assigned.
Pattern PDFs is the full set of quilt documents - Cutting Diagrams, Fabric List and Journal - to Share by email, view in iBooks, or print.
Triangle Calculators are unique! They calculate dimensions for corner, setting, and right triangles.
Size it! finds the percentage needed to enlarge or reduce a quilting design or appliqué pattern using current and desired sizes.
Pixel Quilt How-to Guide.
Reference Tables with mattress sizes, common batting sizes, and conversion tables.
Links to How-to guides.
Manager for images saved in the app.

We wish you happy quilting with QuiltSandwich!

Quilters reported having to frequently adjust allowance defaults because they were just too generous. This was a problem particularly for binding, batting and backing calculations. The defaults for Fabric Shrinking & Squaring-Up and Overhang have been adjusted to better fit what quilters prefer, which means the amount of scrap (extra fabric purchased!) has been reduced.

Turn photos into pixel quilt designs using QuiltSandwich and the CH Mosaic app by Jim Calvin. CH Mosaic pixelizes images into squares or half-triangles and lets you set the number of colors that you will translate into fabric. When you share the pixel design with QuiltSandwich, define the size of your pieces and the size of patchwork blocks for easy assembly. QuiltSandwich generates diagrams for the blocks, calculates yardage and creates cutting diagrams for pieces by color. Check out the video on the QuiltSandwich web site to get started! 1.11.34 04/01/2016 Improve the binding calculator and binding cutting diagram to more clearly illustrate assembly.
