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

“I'd like a baby quilt around 42 x 46 in made of simple four-patch and half-square-triangle blocks in soft sage, blush pink and cream, with a plain cream border and matching binding.”

Checks

The counts, part sizes and placement were checked by computation on 29 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.
