## <mark style="color:blue;">Pieced Orange Peel Block Unit in PreQuilt</mark>

For a **pieced Orange Peel**, construct your block unit like a Modern Drunkard's Path with 1 orange peel shape and 2 side concave curves. There will be a total of 3 separate pieces.

3. 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.
4. Set your grid guidelines by changing the number for the horizontal and vertical units.

   * I'll set my gridlines to 2 horizontal and 2 vertical units.&#x20;

## <mark style="color:blue;">Sewing Construction Diagrams</mark>

**Please note:**

* Templates are not included in PreQuilt (at this time). You will need to create your own or buy templates to cut the curves.
* Cutting diagrams on PreQuilt are set as squares that are then trimmed into the orange peel and concave curves. Use your expertise to stagger templates for more efficient fabric usage.&#x20;
* Version 2.0 of Fabric Calculations will include templates and staggered cutting diagrams.
