From Quilt Design to Printable Pattern
QuiltDraft brings essential quilt-design and pattern-preparation tools together in one convenient browser-based program.
QuiltDraft combines Semi-Automatic FPP Grouping with designer-controlled Sewing Order, Design Check, assisted Geometry Rebuild, precise outlines and curves, flexible color tools, Fabric Estimation, professional exports, and true-size tiled printing.
Draw straight or curved piecing lines, work over a reference image, create symmetrical designs, experiment with custom colors, resize your work, organize FPP sections, and prepare accurate pattern pages for printing.
Whether you are designing for yourself or developing commercial quilt patterns, QuiltDraft gives you control over both the creative design and the final pattern output.
Signature Feature
Semi-Automatic FPP Grouping
Turn a completed quilt design into organized foundation paper piecing sections without grouping every piece individually.
QuiltDraft helps identify and organize compatible pieces into sewable FPP sections while keeping you in control. Review the suggested grouping, make manual adjustments, and establish the sewing order required for each section.
You receive structured FPP sections without giving up the judgment and flexibility of an experienced quilt designer.
Multiple Piecing Methods
QuiltDraft is not limited to FPP.
Create:
- Traditional pieced quilt blocks
- Foundation paper piecing patterns
- Rag quilt patterns
- Designs combining straight and curved piecing

Use straight lines and editable curves together in the same design. Resize, reflect, color, and refine your work as the pattern develops.

Sewing Order – You Decide
QuiltDraft helps with the complicated work, but you stay in charge of your design. After your FPP sections are created, simply click the groups in the order you want them sewn. First click becomes A, second becomes B, then C, D, E… QuiltDraft automatically updates the section and piece labels for you. No dragging items through lists, no manually renaming dozens of pieces, and no accepting a sewing order chosen by the software. You designed the quilt. You decide how it goes together. QuiltDraft takes care of the tedious part.
Built for Independent Pattern Designers
Add your pattern name and company name to your exported pages and create organized files suitable for developing commercial quilt patterns.
Professional SVG output allows you to continue refining artwork, diagrams, colors, text, and page layouts in Adobe Illustrator or another compatible vector-design program.
Save Your Work and Continue Later
Save complete QuiltDraft project files and reopen them whenever you are ready to continue.
Your design, colors, grouping, sewing order, and other project information remain available for further editing.
Print at True Size
QuiltDraft automatically divides oversized designs across standard US Letter or A4 pages.
Smart page packing helps use the available paper efficiently while preserving the true pattern size. Print, assemble the tiled pages, and begin sewing.
Quilt Design With More Control
From the first line to the final printed page, QuiltDraft helps simplify the technical side of quilt-pattern preparation while leaving the creative decisions in your hands.
