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.

I started this thread with only the thought of 1/4 or 1/8 inch gridded paper on "regular sized" (which I think varies from country to country) paper.
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 use it all the time. I design a quilt on them. Just now finished a jelly roll quilt - 80 8" squares. Worked like a charm. Nice this is you can paper punch it and put it in a note book when you are done - all your information is on it and you can use different colored markers to design the pattern.
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.

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.
