Create quilts easier, faster & better with TheQuiltDesigner

Simple Controls

Always accessible, all the controls you need and none you don't.

Add shapes

Design shapes, then drag them on to your quilt. Save custom shapes, and never worry about complex processes.

Fabric Collections

Pick colors or import images. Scan in your own fabrics! Mix and match on your design.

Editor

Simple and powerful. Modify shapes, create and use blocks, zoom and pan. Share your designs from here, too!

My wife wanted a way to design quilts, try fabrics, and get measurements without the time, tedium, and graph paper. So I'm building quilt design software for her - and for you too.

Try out colors and patterns
Work with shapes like you would with fabric
Get automatic measurements

Quick to learn, simple to use

Drag-and-drop shapes, fast fabric switching, and a customizable intuitive interface. Don't spend hours and hours learning new software; in The Quilt Designer most things you'll want to do are just a click away. Get started

Who are we? I'm just a guy trying to make something useful and support a family. The section below outlines some of what's still to do. If you want TheQuiltDesigner sooner, or just want to help out, I'll use any donations to further this project along.

We're not a large company bringing in a lot of revenue, we're a family trying to put skills and hobbies - computer programming and quilting - to good use. Donations support our work. Thanks!!!

Check out what I made! Yeah, I used TheQuiltDesigner. Did you know that they want to hear what you think about the software? I got in touch with them while they were working on it - you can send suggestions too at support[at]thequiltdesigner.com!
