The Fabric Yardage Calculator ✂️🧵
Share
Raise your rotary cutter if you’ve ever stood in the fabric aisle squinting at a pattern and wondering, “Wait… how much fabric do I actually need?” 🙋♀️
We’ve all been there — whether you’re planning a baby quilt, a lap quilt, or a king-sized masterpiece, figuring out yardage can feel more like math homework than sewing fun. That’s why I built the Fabric Yardage Calculator, just for us quilters at The Quilters Retreat!
👉 Try the Fabric Yardage Calculator here
What it does:
✨ Quickly calculates how much fabric you need for your quilt.
✨ Works with standard quilt sizes and blocks.
✨ Helps you shop smarter (no more overbuying or running short mid-project — hooray!).
It’s simple, it’s handy, and it takes the guesswork out of planning so you can get back to what really matters: playing with beautiful fabric and making quilts that spark joy.
I’d love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think. Do you find it helpful? Any tweaks or extras you’d like to see added? Drop a comment below — your feedback helps me keep making tools that make quilting life easier.
Because at the end of the day, quilting math doesn’t have to be scary… it can be as fun as picking the next print from your stash. 😉

Hi Edna! 💛
Oh my goodness — thank you! That means so much to me. I’m so glad the tutorials have been helpful. 😊
I don’t currently have a tutorial specifically on attic window designs, but I love those quilts — they have such a beautiful dimensional look. Now you’ve got my wheels turning! 🧵✨
Are you thinking about a traditional attic windows block with fussy cut centers, or attic windows with fabric panels? I’d love to know what you’re planning.
If there’s enough interest, that might need to become a future tutorial!

You are a great teacher. I love all you tutorials. Do you have any on the attic window designs?
