How to use this tool

  1. Enter strips per set, cut strip width, seam allowance, strip length, combined end trim, and crosscut width in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for strip set quilt block yield. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "strips": 5,
  "width": 6,
  "seam": 0.5,
  "length": 110,
  "trim": 4,
  "cross": 6
}

Accuracy and scope

A planning model using your measurements and assumptions; allowances do not guarantee fit or yield. Test a sample before cutting or purchasing.
