Quilting Graph Paper on US Letter, exactly as it prints.
Most traditional quilt blocks are built on a grid: a nine-patch on three by three, a churn dash on five by five. Draw the block full size and every patch becomes a count of squares, so cutting sizes can be read straight off the page — the finished size plus a quarter inch on every side.
The bold inch lines make whole-quilt layouts easy too. At one inch to the foot, a 60 by 80 inch quilt top is five inches by six and two thirds — small enough to plan the colours of the whole thing on one sheet.
Every sheet here is free, adjustable and prints at exact scale.
Full size when you need cutting dimensions — a 6 inch block is 24 squares. For a whole quilt, one inch to the foot fits a queen-size top on the page.
Draw the finished patch, then add one square — a quarter inch — on every side for the cut size. A 2 inch finished square is cut at 2½ inches.
Use hexagonal graph paper for English paper piecing, or tumbling block paper for the classic three-dimensional diamond pattern.
