{% hint style="warning" %}
Only the Rectangular Quilt Grid can have columns and rows of different widths or heights.
{% 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).

### a | Resize (Change) Column Width
1. On the quilt grid, highlight an entire column of blocks by **clicking on the number at the top of the column**. In this example, I've selected column **2**.
2. A red little OPTS button will appear above the selected column.
3. Click on the **OPTS button** and select **Resize** from the dropdown menu.
4. Enter the **desired width** for the column. In this example, I've entered **1.00**. Then click the **OK** button.
5. The width of this column is now 1 inch wide.

### b | Resize (Change) Row Height
