A browser-based calculator that turns quilt measurements into backing yardage and a panel cut plan.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.
For
Quilters planning backing fabric and yardage
Worth noticing
Its starting example uses a 60 × 80-inch top, 4 inches of extra on each edge, 42-inch usable width, and a ½-inch seam allowance.

Field notes

The form separates extra backing on every side from extra cut length at the panel ends, and distinguishes usable width from the bolt label width. Users can compare vertical seams, horizontal seams, or both, then choose a purchase increment; the optional binding estimate is separate from backing yardage. The page flags limits including width shrinkage, print matching, bias binding, and offcut reuse.
