Inputs
Sizes are computed from these fixed inputs: wof (in) 42, seam (in) 0.25, target (in) 40, 48, size tol (in) 4. A different gauge or stock makes a different size; the counts do not change.
Brief
“A crib quilt near 40 x 46 in of alternating squares and half-square triangle blocks in lavender, mint and pale yellow on white, with a two-tone border, and I'm fairly new to piecing.”
Checks
The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 30 September 2026 (verified on attempt 2); the piece has not yet been made by hand. If yours comes out differently, tell us and we will look at it.
