What this sheet is for
Hold one quilt's plan, fabric and progress on a single page, so the piecing maths and the yardage are not on the back of an envelope that gets thrown out.
Who it is for
Quilters working from a pattern or their own design, and anyone making a quilt to a deadline for somebody else.
How to use it
- Write the finished size and block size at the top before anything else — everything else follows from them.
- Record where each fabric came from. Buying two more metres of the same thing is impossible without it.
- Note what is left over; the next project starts from that column.
- Tick the stages honestly, and record how long it really took.
What is on the sheet
The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
Questions
Why is there no yardage chart or block library?
Because they only work for the block size and seam allowance they were written for, and a chart that is nearly right is worse than none. Your pattern has the figures; this sheet holds them where the work is recorded.
