Help Guide

1. Click on the BLOCKS tab on the left side control panel.

   
2. Click on the Make Custom Block button.

   
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.

   

   
5. Click on the orange peel shape () from the central control panel.

   
6. Move the orange peel piece so it is in the top left corner of the quilt block.

   

   
7. Click on the concave quarter circle shape () from the central control panel.

   
8. 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.

   
9. Move the concave quarter circle piece into the left corner of the block.

   

   
10. With the concave quarter circle piece selected, click on the Clone button () on the central control panel.

Sewing Construction Diagrams

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.

• Version 2.0 of Fabric Calculations will include templates and staggered cutting diagrams.
