Nine-patch quilt pattern, any size

Instead of cutting nine squares per block, you sew long strips together and cut them across into rows. It is faster and more accurate; the pattern lists the strip sets you need.

With alternate plain blocks the corners should be nine-patches, so each side has an odd number of blocks.

A PDF made for your exact quilt: fabric requirements for every fabric (in yards and meters), a cutting plan strip by strip with diagrams, strip sets where the block uses them, block assembly with a diagram for every step, the full layout with every block placed and labeled, borders, backing (regular or wide), batting, binding, and a coloring page to try other colors.

Everything on the page before you pay: the live preview on your bed, sofa or wall, the finished size and the number of blocks. The fabric amounts, the cutting plans, the diagrams and the layout are in the PDF; our free calculators work out quilt size, backing and binding. For a limited time the starter pattern, the quilt the configurator opens with, downloads free in full, so you can see exactly what a pattern is like. Change anything and the pattern is a custom one at the normal price.

For a bed we add the drop (how far the quilt hangs over the sides and the foot) and an optional pillow tuck to the mattress size, then choose how many whole blocks get closest to it. Quilts are made of whole blocks, so the finished size can be an inch or two off the target; the page tells you when it is more than 3 inches off.

Yes. Pick the precut under Your fabric and the block size is set to what the precut makes, for example 4 1/2 inch squares from charm packs or 2 inch rails from jelly rolls. The pattern tells you how many packs to buy and how much background and border fabric to add.
