Quilt Batting Calculator

Find required batting dimensions and a fitting common packaged size.

What is this?

A browser-only quilt planning calculator.

Who needs it?

Quilters estimating materials before shopping or cutting.

Bottom line

Use this as a planning aid and verify your materials before purchase.

How it works

All measurements are inches. Results round yardage up to the next quarter yard so the plan does not understate the calculated requirement.

Worked example

An 84 x 96 inch quilt with 4 inch overhang needs 92 x 104 inch batting, so Queen 90 x 108 does not fit and King 120 x 120 is selected. A 60 x 72 quilt needs 68 x 80 and fits Twin 72 x 90.

Assumptions and limits

Listed packaged sizes are common packaged sizes, not manufacturer-verified specifications. Check the actual package, loft, shrinkage guidance, and quilting method.

Frequently asked questions

Are these purchase guarantees?

No. They are bounded arithmetic planning aids; measure your project and check product details before purchasing.
