I still occasionally use it but not as much as I used to. Sometimes I just like to sit down & play around with different blocks or designs. It is just fun to do.

I use it to keep track of placement when I have my pieces cut out, and ready to sew together. That way I have the pattern right there handy.

You don't?

I use graph paper all of the time. If I see a block I want to make and it is not the size I want-the graph paper comes out and I just draw it up to my desired size so you are definitely not the only person to use graph paper.

I buy it by the roll. 42" wide by 20 Yds. The type comes in various widths in roll and sheets in sizes larger than letter size. I also get the gridded desk pads which are about 18"x24". I sometime use easel chart pads gridded in 1/2" and inch if I don't want precision.

Quilt30, where do you get the rolls? The largest I have found is desk blotter size at Office Depot or Staples. I use graph paper to sketch ideas, when I want to change color, or figure just how much of a certain fabric I will need in my designs. I also buy the pads or "engineering books" we used to call them - graph on one side of the page, lined on the other. I've got 3 packs of color pencils floating around the house too.

It is usually available at stores that have drafting supplies. It is made primarily for draftsmen. The most popular brand is "Clearprint. Google and you will find a source. On line is usually the best price.

No, I use it all the time.

I use graph paper all the time to draw out quilts.
