# Resizing Columns & Rows

{% endhint %}
Quilt with different column widths and row heights.
## Resize Columns & Rows to Create Different Sized Blocks
Sometimes resizing a column or a row might be a better fit for your quilt than merging smaller blocks. This is especially true for when you want to add a border or sashing to your quilt.
Keep in mind that if you to create sashing, you will want to change both the column width and the corresponding row's height. We have a course lesson for how to create sashing that you can check out [**HERE**](https://courses.prequilt.com/youtube-courses/intro-to-prequilt-course/08-or-sashing).
