Quilt Design Software by Jinny Beyer

I found this free online quilt design program by Jinny Beyer and decided to give it a try before sharing this with you.

Firstly you have to click HERE to get to the Quilter’s Design Board.

Go to LAUNCH DESIGN BOARD (lower right of the page).  Once this is open, you’ll see an already designed quilt with borders. 

On the right hand side it shows which block was used, the fabrics and colors used and you can easily print the yardage needed to make the quilt by clicking on the yellow high-lighted button.

So you need to change the block.  Go to the upper left and where it says CURRENT BLOCK just click below that on ‘change’ to choose a new one.  Select a block from those at the bottom and the quilt will immediately change with your new block added.

You can do exactly the same with the border by clicking  ‘change’  underneath CURRENT BORDER.

When you click on GO TO BLOCK, you will be able to download any given block in different sizes as well as template guides for the block in PDF format.

 New blocks are continually added and free quilt patterns, already designed and just ready for you to make, can also be found by clicking HERE


I think this is the ideal playground for those people scared of playing with the computer.  Remember you CAN NOT  by accident destroy or delete anything from this program and should you make a major boo-boo simply reload the page and start from the beginning.

I wish to thank Jinny Beyer for the time taken to do this and for sharing it with all of us.
