QUILT PLANNING NOTES · OCTOBER 25, 2026

A short look inside the studio.

Thirty-six seconds of Cloth & Colour in development: real app captures, original digital quilt designs and synthetic demonstration projects.

Development-build footage. The Mac version is now available; Windows is not released yet. No voiceover. Original instrumental music plays only when you start the video.

What the preview shows

0:00–0:06 · The idea

Original quilt designs and the Cloth & Colour identity introduce planning a quilt before sewing it.

0:06–0:12 · Find a starting point

The actual design library, with original blocks and larger feature quilts.

0:12–0:16 · Make a custom block

The Block Atelier, where a user can work on a block of their own.

0:16–0:20 · Colour individual pieces

The quilt editor and a changed quilt, showing control over the pieces in a layout.

0:20–0:24 · Try your own fabric

Fabric-photo crop, rotation and repeat controls, using a synthetic sample fabric.

0:24–0:31.5 · Prepare for making

The making book and an actual generated PDF cover, with fabric lists, cutting lists and placement maps.

0:31.5–0:36 · Coming to desktop

The closing frame introduces the planned Mac and Windows release.

What is captured and what is animated?

The software screens are actual captures from the local app using demonstration data. The framing, transitions, titles and original digital quilt compositions are animated for the film. This is not a recording of a finished customer release or a physical sewing test.

Can I try the app yet?

The Mac version is now available as a one-time purchase with optional paid major upgrades. Windows is not released yet, and no release date is promised. Check the Mac requirements and sample making book before buying. Always test a sample block and print scale before starting a large project.
