Save & share

Get back a quilt you didn’t save

The studio keeps unsaved work in this browser. Open the designer again and Continue a draft? offers it back; in your library it shows with a Draft badge.

Where to find it

Studio home → Start a quilt → Continue a draft?, or My Library → Quilts, where drafts have a Draft badge.

Open your quilts
On the studio home, Start a quilt opens Continue a draft? with an unsaved Sawtooth Stars quilt, Share – Unsaved Stars, edited just now; clicking it opens the quilt on the design wall again

How to do it

  1. In the same browser you were using, press Start a quilt on the studio home. If unsaved quilts are waiting, Continue a draft? opens.
  2. Click the quilt you want. It opens on the design wall as you left it.
  3. Press Save to keep it in your account. Until then it lives only in this browser.
  4. Unsaved changes to a quilt you had saved before? Opening it from your library asks first: Continue editing keeps the newer work, Open saved version throws it away.

Good to know

  • Drafts stay in the browser they were made in, so they don’t follow you to another computer or your phone. Save to keep them everywhere.
  • Unsaved changes to a saved quilt are kept for about a month. Clearing this browser’s data removes them.
  • Start a new quilt leaves the drafts where they are; you can still open them from My Library → Quilts.
