Sashing: Quilt Design App

Plan your next quilt in the fabrics you actually own. Sashing is a quilt design app: photograph your fabrics, lay out classic blocks with sashing and borders, and see the finished quilt before you cut a single strip. Then get the finished size, the yardage for every fabric and a cutting chart you can print.

YOUR FABRICS, NOT A COLOR CHART
Take a photo of each fabric, or pick one from your gallery, and it becomes a swatch on your fabric shelf. Prints, solids, batiks and your stash of fat quarters look like themselves on the design wall. No fabric yet? Start with solid colors and swap in the real thing later, and the fabric calculator keeps up with every swap.

A QUILT DESIGNER FOR CLASSIC BLOCKS
Choose from traditional blocks: Nine Patch, Ohio Star, Churn Dash, Log Cabin, Flying Geese, Snowball, half-square triangles and more. Set the block size, down to small blocks, then recolor one block or every block of a kind with a tap. As a quilt block design app it lets you audition fabrics on one block before they go on the whole quilt. Think of it as a quilt pattern maker that starts from the blocks quilters have trusted for generations.

THE QUILT LAYOUT, WITH SASHING AND BORDERS
Set how many blocks across and down, add sashing strips and cornerstones between them, and frame it all with borders. The quilt layout app shows the finished size as you go, so a throw, a crib quilt or a queen size quilt comes out the size you meant. Zoom from one seam to the whole quilt on the design wall.

YARDAGE AND A CUTTING CHART
When the design is right, Sashing works out the rest. For every fabric it lists the yardage to buy and every piece to cut: squares, strips and triangles at their cut size, with the quarter-inch seam allowance already added. It is the quilting calculator and the fabric calculator you would otherwise do on paper, done from your own design. Take the list to the fabric store and buy once, not twice.

PRINT IT
Export a PDF on Letter or A4: a picture of your quilt, the fabric list with yardage, and the cutting chart, ready for the sewing room.

MADE FOR PHONES AND TABLETS
Design on your phone at the fabric store, then spread out on a tablet at home, where the quilt layout app fills the whole screen like a real design wall. Every screen works in portrait and landscape.

YOUR SAVED QUILTS STAY YOURS
A quilt designer should never lose your work. The quilts you save live on your device and stay yours. Updates never remove a block or a quilt you saved. There is no account to create.

PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
Sashing works with no internet connection. Your fabric photos never leave your phone. Only the purchase itself, through Google Play, and anonymous usage analytics leave the device.

NO ADS, EVER
Designing a quilt and seeing it in full is free. Saving quilts, the yardage and cutting chart, the PDF and every further quilt need Sashing Pro, a subscription with a free trial that you can cancel any time in Google Play. Subscribers never see ads, because nobody does.

Whether you came looking for a quilt design app, a quilt block design app to try a new block, a quilt pattern maker for a baby quilt, or a quilting calculator for your next trip to the fabric store, Sashing is one calm, well-made place to plan the quilt before you cut.
