# Use Fabric Links

Once you've created the Fabric Links you'd like to use in your quilt, we can start using them in your quilt blocks and other quilt components. This Help Guide will walk you through how to use Fabric Links in:

1. Quilt blocks
2. Quilt borders
3. Quilt binding

## <mark style="color:blue;">01 | Use in Quilt Blocks</mark>

The essential thing to learn here is that Fabric Links can be connected (linked) to individual block pieces in your quilt blocks. This is done in the Block Editor and you can either edit an existing block or create a custom block.

In this example, I'll show you how to use Fabric Links to edit an existing block.

1. On the left side control panel, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**BLOCKS**</mark> tab.

2. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Edit Block**</mark> button for the quilt block you'd like to change.

4. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**block piece**</mark> that you'd like to change the Fabric Link on. When selected, there will be a light box outlining the selected block piece. The current connected Fabric Link (A) is highlighted.

   * In this example, I'd like to change the Fabric Link for all the corner pieces from gray (Fabric Link A) to pink (Fabric Link D).
