Open Calculator →How quilt fabric math works
Backing usually needs extra on each side for basting. This calculator adds that allowance before converting inches to yards.
If the quilt is wider than your fabric, the backing is pieced and yardage increases.
Binding is the quilt perimeter plus join extra, cut into strips. Wider bindings use more fabric.
FAQ
