Welcome to MyQuiltGenie. I started creating block and quilt calculators in 2008 to make it easier to resize blocks and quilts for my own projects and decided they would be useful to other quilters. You can find complete patterns with calculators for blocks, quilts and other projects here. Recently I have begun converting some quilt patterns into electronic format to buy and download for use on a variety portable devices including Kindle, iPad and Nook.
Happy Quilting,
