Features
Everything you need between an idea and a finished quilt.
Sashing is a set of calculators, a stash, a project tracker, and a designer that all share one set of defaults. Get the fabric math right, keep track of what you own, and see a layout in your own fabric before you cut a thing.
The calculator suite
Defaults that stop the miscut
Every calculator starts from settings you choose once: seam allowance, binding width, and usable fabric width. Those anti-miscut defaults mean the number you see already accounts for selvage trim and seams, so you cut once and cut right.
Each result shows its formula. You can check the working before you touch the rotary cutter, and change any input to watch the yardage update live. Twenty-two calculators in all — seven free forever, the rest in Premium.

The whole-quilt cut list
From a finished size to exact cuts
Tell Sashing your block grid, sashing, and borders. It gives back the finished size plus the exact cut sizes and counts for every piece, then the binding and backing yardage to match. One list, ready for the table.
Every piece, counted
Blocks, sashing strips, cornerstones, borders, and binding, each with a cut size and a count.
Yardage that adds up
The cut list rolls into total yardage per fabric, so your shopping list is done.
Export it clean
Take the list on your phone or export a tidy PDF to print or share.
The fabric stash tracker
Know what you own before you buy more
Photograph each fabric, log its yardage, and tag it however you sort your stash. When a favorite runs low, Sashing flags it, so you can decide at the shop instead of guessing from memory.
- Photos — added one at a time or in bulk, with the dominant color tagged automatically
- Yardage on hand, updated as projects deduct from it
- Low-stock flags, plus an optional gentle reminder before a shop trip
- Scan a bolt-end barcode to file a fabric (stored on device, never looked up online)
- Price per yard, so projects can total what they cost
- A wishlist and a scrap bin, searchable offline
The project and UFO tracker
Finish the quilts you started
Every quilter has a few unfinished objects. Track each project from top to binding, note where you left off, and set a deadline. Sashing reminds you before a gift or a guild deadline sneaks up.
Stage by stage
Piecing, quilting, binding. See what is left and what is done at a glance.
Deadline reminders
Set a due date for a wedding or a show and get a nudge in time to finish.
Notes, fabrics, and budget
Keep the pattern, progress shots, and the fabrics from your stash with each project — with the cost rolled up from your per-yard prices.
And each December, Year in Quilts shows what you finished: the quilts, the yardage sewn, and the streaks worth being proud of.
The quilt designer
See it in your own fabric first
Lay out a quilt from a library of traditional blocks, set your grid and sashing, then drop in the fabrics from your stash to preview the real thing. Change a color and the layout updates, so you commit before you cut.
When the design looks right, the cut list comes with it. No re-entering sizes into a separate calculator.
- A library of traditional blocks, plus a block editor for drawing your own
- Sashing, cornerstones, and borders, reflected in the preview and the math
- Export a pattern PDF with the rendered layout and the full cut list
- Share a design as a file another Sashing quilter can open and edit
- A sketch pad for the ideas that start on paper
Beyond the calculators
The rest of what's in the box
Sashing goes where the quilting happens — the shop, the wrist, the iPad on the cutting table — and everything below ships with the app.

Apple Watch app
Backing math and your wishlist shopping list on your wrist at the shop.
Siri Shortcuts

Made for iPad too
A sidebar layout and a bigger design canvas on iPad — one purchase covers both.

Warm color themes, plus named preference profiles for quilters who switch seam allowances.

Private by design
Yours, on your device
Sashing is built to work without a connection and without an account. Your stash and your projects stay on your phone and sync through your own iCloud, never through us.
Works fully offline
The calculators are on-device math. No signal needed at the shop or the cutting table.
No account, ever
There is no sign-up and no login. Nothing to remember, nothing to leak.
Your own iCloud
Stash and projects sync through your private iCloud, not our servers.
No ads, no tracking
Sashing does not sell your data or show you a single ad.
Get the fabric math right.
The core calculators are free on the web. The full suite, stash, tracker, and designer live in the app, with a one-time Lifetime unlock for quilters who would rather buy once.
