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 cot-size quilt for a toddler, roughly 44 x 44 in, using big squares and half-square triangles in bright primary red, blue and yellow with white, plus a wide blue border.”
Checks
The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 30 September 2026 (verified on attempt 1); the piece has not yet been made by hand. If yours comes out differently, tell us and we will look at it.
