Quilt Finish

Plan your quilt finish.

Plan backing panels, straight-grain binding and an optional square-corner border from one measured quilt top. Save projects and check cuts as you work. One purchase, offline on iPhone and iPad, without ads, accounts, subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Measure and edit

Use the actual raw edges of your rectangular quilt top. Tap Edit to set dimensions, usable fabric widths excluding selvages, seam allowances and backing overhang per side. The example is editable; its settings are not recommendations for every quilting method. Apply uses your changes; Cancel keeps the previous plan. Switching centimeters and inches converts the same dimensions.

Backing

The backing extends by the chosen overhang on all four sides. The app compares full-width panels with vertical and horizontal seams, subtracting two seam allowances at each join. Select the orientation that suits your print. The shorter-layout action is available only when you allow print rotation. Trim excess after assembly. The diagram is schematic; use the labeled cut dimensions.

Binding

Binding strips run across the usable fabric width and join diagonally, corner to corner. The calculation subtracts one strip width for each intermediate join. The separate extra length covers corners and closing the binding. This is straight-grain binding; bias binding and curved quilt edges are not supported.

One border

Choose the finished added border width. Cut width includes two seam allowances. Attach sides first, then top and bottom, with square corners. Long pieces use full-width segments joined end to end; each join consumes two seam allowances. Assemble and trim each piece to its labeled length. The plan allocates whole strips independently to each side and does not reuse offcuts between sides. It is a simple conservative plan, not minimum-waste optimization.

Buying and cutting

Fabric purchase lengths round upward to 5 cm or 1/8 yard. Displayed cut dimensions round upward to 0.01 of the displayed unit; internal calculations retain precision. No allowance is made for shrinkage, pattern matching or cutting mistakes. Adjust the explicit settings to your process before buying or cutting.

Projects and checklist

Save project adds the current plan to Projects. Changes to a saved project and its checkmarks persist locally. Draft edits can be cancelled. Duplicate makes an independent project; Delete removes a saved project after confirmation. The current working plan remains separately available. Changing dimensions or seam layout clears its cut checklist. Share cut plan opens the system share sheet; you choose any recipient.

Local recovery

If saved data cannot be read, the app preserves the original and asks before recovery. Recovery starts a new example and retains a local backup of the unreadable data. Uninstalling removes local app data; device backups depend on your Apple settings.
