For an appliquéd Orange Peel, construct your block as you would sew it - with a larger background fabric and a smaller orange peel shape on top.
Click on the BLOCKS tab on the left side control panel.
Click on the Make Custom Block button.
The Block Editor panel will slide out and overtake your screen. My block is set to 12" x 12" finished, but it doesn't matter, the next steps will work for all sized blocks.
Set your grid guidelines by changing the number for the horizontal and vertical units.
I'll set my gridlines to 8 horizontal and 8 vertical units. I want my Orange Peel to be centered in each of the block units.
Move the new square block unit so it is in the top left corner of the quilt block.
To manipulate the square to enlarge it, grab the square on one of the corners of the square and drag it until the square fills the height and width of 4 grid spaces.
Note: If the snap to grid is turned on (default) then the shape will automatically fill the grid space.
Click on the Link button for a different fabric link (so that there are now 2 different fabrics being used). In this example, I am using Fabric Link B.
Move the orange peel piece into the center top left right corner of the square.
To manipulate the orange peel to enlarge it, grab the square on the bottom right corner of the bounding box around the orange peel and drag it until the bottom right corner of the orange peel fills the height and width of 2 grid spaces.
Clone, rotate and move 3 more Orange Peel block units to complete the quilt block. If you'd like, you can add and use additional Fabric Links.
Click on the square shape () from the central control panel. It will be our background fabric behind the circle.
