About Quilting Calculators
Master the math involved in quilting! Robert Kaufman Fabrics and Quilters Paradise have joined forces to bring you this updated collection of eight essential quilting calculators. Designed by quilters, the calculators work with both U.S. and metric measurements. With these tools you’ll easily and accurately work out how many rectangular pieces can be cut from a larger piece, or how much fabric is needed for backing, batting and borders, square-in-a-square, set-in and corner triangles.
Fabric Measurement Converter: Converts between measurement in decimals and fractions.
Backing and Batting Calculator: Determines how much yardage from a bolt of fabric is needed to make the backing for a quilt.
Piece Count Calculator: Shows the number of fixed-size pieces that can be cut from a larger piece of fabric.
Pieces to Yardage Area Calculator: Indicates how much fabric is needed in order to cut a given number of fixed-size pieces.
Binding Calculator: Tells you the amount of fabric required to bind your quilt, based on the quilt’s dimensions and the binding strip width.
Border Calculator: Shows the amount of fabric required to create borders, based on your quilt’s dimensions and the width of the borders.
Square-in-a-Square Calculator: Works out all the key dimensions of a square-in-a-square block.
Set-in and Corner Triangle Calculator: Determines the size of the square piece you’ll need to cut in order to create both unfinished set-in triangles and unfinished corner triangles.
Pieces to Yardage Area Calculator: Indicates how much fabric is needed in order to cut a given number of fixed-size pieces.
Binding Calculator: Tells you the amount of fabric required to bind your quilt, based on the quilt’s dimensions and the binding strip width.
Border Calculator: Shows the amount of fabric required to create borders, based on your quilt’s dimensions and the width of the borders.
Square-in-a-Square Calculator: Works out all the key dimensions of a square-in-a-square block.
Set-in and Corner Triangle Calculator: Determines the size of the square piece you’ll need to cut in order to create both unfinished set-in triangles and unfinished corner triangles.

Needs a block chart. I am always forgetting the size of a quilt and need to figure out how many blocks I need to make. If it had one I would give it 5 stars

Your in the shop...you see a fabric perfect for the backing, and some for the binding. How much fabric do u need? No need to calculate by hand - whip out this handy tool, with great descriptions, too. You'll have just enough - no waste, no hoping the same dye lot is available.

Some of the pieces work perfectly. Others are simply bad math. 19 inches is not 1 yard. Can't trust it.

I use this to calculate how much yardage I need for bindings and borders. When I've used it for backing, however, it always estimates way more than I need - I must piece my backs differently then they do. Bindings and borders are always accurate.

by Q####:
Square in a Square calculates incorrectly, adding an inch to any finished inside square length you give it. For example, if you enter a finished inside square length of 5, the calculation incorrectly uses a finished inside square length of 6. Other calculations I've made using the app (binding, borders, backing) have worked out well.
