For pattern designers

Author once. Sell every size.

Design the quilt once. Quarter Inch will build the charts, templates and every size, checked to the quarter inch.

Apply for a founding placeHow live patterns work

One design, five sizes, drawn to scale.

The pattern document

Change the quilt. The pattern follows.

Cutting charts, diagrams, size variants and exact-scale templates will come from your design and stay in sync.

  • Every size recalculated and re-checked
  • Yardage rounded up to the next ⅛ yd
  • Templates with a 1″ test square

Less for your tech editor. Computed charts always agree.
