I use it for planning and designing. I found a composition book (you know the ones with the black and white cover) with graph paper inside instead of lined at Walmart. Only one there and have never seen another one since. I made a fabric cover for it and I use it for sketches, planning, designing, keeping track of measurements, etc. When I use it up, I don't know what I will use. Only drawback is that it is not perforated, so if you tear out a sheet, another one on the opposite side will fall out.

As this thread has progressed, I think I would like it to mean anything printed with a regular pattern (triangles, squares, hexagons, etc.) that we still use to design with that requires a pencil (or pen). There are some great "graph papers" available from several sites. |
I still use it. I make designs and cut them out for patterns. I still use my washable markers too!

I have two sides yet to bind and then it is done. Kinda glad it's done, but I bond with the quilts I make and it is almost like giving away a child (I would assume). A picture and a story of my making the quilt with what was going on with the world and in my backyard, new things I have learned - and it is all on a piece of 8-1/2 x 11 graph paper. My paper is old - it is beige and is "softer" than regular paper. Edie |
You are not alone! I use it and down load the graph paper from free websites when I am in the mood to design my quilt. Rarely do I buy a pattern. Put a pencil in my hand, a piece of graph paper, and a calculator and I am happy.

I use it all of the time. Designing, planning, resizing...you name it.

Someone posted here a site to down load graph paper in several sizes a year or so ago. Hope you can find it. I use a large lab notebook with 1/4" squares in it. Is there a college bookstore near you to check one out?
