About

Quiltler 3 – Quilt Design is a full-featured mobile studio built for modern quilters on iOS. Developed by Creative Greenlight LLC, it brings together three powerful pillars: a block-based visual design editor, an intelligent fabric calculator, and a digital fabric library — all in one app. With the visual design editor, users can create custom quilt blocks with precise inch-based measurements, arrange complex layouts, and preview them using real fabric patterns before making a single cut. This removes guesswork from the creative process and helps quilters visualize finished projects accurately. The smart fabric calculator tackles the common pain point of 'quilt math' by automatically computing yardage for backing, binding, and sashing — accounting for waste factors and shrinkage — so users never run out of material mid-project. It also estimates total project cost and generates a PDF shopping list, making project planning seamless. The integrated fabric stash manager lets users catalog and browse their personal fabric collection, tagging patterns and quantities for easy reference across projects. A gallery of saved designs lets users track multiple projects simultaneously. Ideal for hobbyist sewers, experienced quilters, and craft enthusiasts who want to modernize their workflow, Quiltler 3 offers a 7-day free trial with full access, followed by a subscription. The app is rated 4.5/5 on the App Store and was first released in December 2025.
