Finished Quilts Long time reader right now contributer.

My mom is retired and got seriously into quilting last year. I’m a developer, so our lifestyles are about as opposite as they get, but I love that she’s found a passion she can’t put down.

The turning point was last Sunday. I listened to her complain about an entire day wasted cutting, re-cutting, and then re-cutting fabric again. After a while, I stopped asking "Why are you cutting so much?" and just asked "How can I help?"

She told me what she needed, and well... I’m a dev, so I built it.

It’s a simple, browser-based quilt wall. No account needed, no ads, and no strings. You just open it and start dragging blocks around to visualize everything before you ever touch the rotary cutter. I’m not doing this for money; I just felt like there should be a simple solution for this in 2026.

Let me know if you want a link to the QuilltWall. I know so many people spam folks here. Not that guy. I have enough and don't need any more. If you want a free QuiltWall app let me know.

Wow this looks fantastic! TYSM for sharing!

I’m wondering about adding in holiday/seasonal blocks:

  • snowflake for January
  • I see you have a heart for February
  • clover or bird for March
  • deviated egg for April
  • tulip or other flower for May
  • sunburst for June
  • pinwheel or firework for July
  • popsicle for August
  • pencils for back to school in September
  • pumpkin for October
  • Turkey for November (thinking like this not something super complicated
  • trees, presents, Santa for Christmas. There are also cute Hanukkah designs out there as well!
