Questions

Is SeeMyQuilt free?

Yes. The preview tool and all calculators on this site are free and need no account. A paid iPhone and iPad app with saved projects is being built.

Do my fabric photos get uploaded?

No. Photos you choose are read by your browser and placed into the quilt on your own device. They are never sent to us.

How is the yardage worked out?

Each piece is cut at its finished size plus seam allowance: 1/2" for squares and rectangles, 7/8" for half-square triangles and 1 1/4" for quarter-square triangles. Pieces are cut from 42" wide strips, and 10% is added before rounding up to the next 1/8 yard.

Does it use AI to make the quilt picture?

No. The preview is your own fabric placed into the exact shapes of the block, so what you see is what the pieces will look like.

Which blocks and settings can I use?

220 traditional blocks, from Nine Patch and Log Cabin to Bear Paw and dozens of stars. Set them side by side, with sashing, alternating with plain squares or on point, with or without a border.
