Fabric Cost Estimator 💰

Estimate the total cost of your quilt project. Calculate fabric yardage, batting, thread, and optional labor costs. Get a complete cost breakdown for your quilting budget.

How to Use the Fabric Cost Estimator

Enter your quilt's finished width and height in inches. Then enter the price per yard for your fabric (this is used for both the quilt top and backing), the batting price per yard, and your estimated thread cost.

The calculator adds 4" overhang on each side for quilting frame mounting, then calculates the yardage needed for the top, backing, and batting separately. Costs are broken down so you can see where your budget goes.

Optionally enter labor hours and your hourly rate to include labor cost in the total. This is useful for pricing custom quilts or understanding the true value of your handmade work.
