Quilting apps for the iPhone

Someone told me about a few apps for the phone that are made just for quilters. They have already been very helpful to me when figuring out crazy quilt designs (such as my crazy ragged quilt) so that I know how much fabric I need for these projects. I put the link to iTunes if you want to check them out.

If you have a great sewing or quilting app, I would love to hear about it!

Flannel rag quilt

I love this quilt because it is easy for a first time quilter and it is about as warm as it needs to be for Texas winters.

Each of the squares are 8"x8". I sewed an "X" in the middle of each square for the quilting part. It measures 8x10 squares with a 5" boarder for a total of 61"x75".
