QuiltFit vs Spreadsheet for Fabric Planning

A spreadsheet can total fabric and track a quilt's costs, but it cannot show the design. QuiltFit pairs the visual block layout with the fabric math, so the picture and the numbers stay in sync.

Comparison table

Factor	QuiltFit	a Spreadsheet
Visual block layout	Yes	No
Yardage by fabric role	Automatic	Manual formulas
Recolor and re-estimate	Instant	Re-edit cells
Shopping list	Generated	Built by hand
Cost tracking	Basic	Flexible

Where QuiltFit wins

QuiltFit keeps the design and the yardage together. A spreadsheet can hold numbers, but it cannot tell you whether the blocks look right or recolor a row, so the two drift apart as the quilt changes.

When a Spreadsheet still makes sense

A spreadsheet is still useful for detailed cost tracking across many quilts. Use it for budgeting and QuiltFit for the design and yardage of each project.
