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

A **Snowballed Corner** can be created in PreQuilt just like it is in real life when you're sewing it. Generally these snowballed triangle corners are on top of a square or rectangle.&#x20;

Unlike some of the other Block Unit help guides, this one will focus only on creating a snowballed corner rectangle block unit.

### Help Guide

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

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/68Sy8IGIv0pf3slIgZAs" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
2. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Make Custom Block**</mark> button.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/m996ukpqAnSaJrChXBS5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
3. The **Block Editor panel** will slide out and overtake your screen. My block is set to 12" x 6" 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.

   * Since I'm going to be creating a rectangular quilt block, I'll set my gridlines to 2 horizontal and 1 vertical unit.

5. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**square shape**</mark> (<img src="/files/hy2ZsHmPdS74SBFprTv2" alt="" data-size="line">) from the central control panel.

   <figure><img src="/files/OLDxQfSYvWdVU68bOAHv" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
6. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Size to Fit**</mark> button (![](/files/APNNXCFLKcxDD4SB6ta8)) on the central, vertical toolbar.&#x20;

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/disPl0YGVXmWft5HV6bA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
7. This will enlarge the square to fill the entire space of the rectangle.

8. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**half square triangle shape**</mark> (<img src="/files/iPj39le0NWIilUW4GiLV" alt="" data-size="line">) from the central control panel. (It might camouflage in with the rectangle behind it. You can see that there is a square bounding box for the triangle).

9. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Link button**</mark> for a different fabric link (so that there are now 2 different fabrics being used). In this example, I am using Fabric Link B.

   <figure><img src="/files/4A3WaFIIf8y7qac4TTzT" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
10. <mark style="color:blue;">**Move**</mark> the half square triangle piece into the bottom left corner of the rectangle. It should cover the square.

    <figure><img src="/files/CsXLvCi2otwYSlydrDxV" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
11. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Rotate button**</mark> (![](/files/dAVu3YUaYXrBpxkyHrgW)) on the central control panel so that it is in the correct orientation.

    <figure><img src="/files/bcDH2Tx66bWNwJBfdwmG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
12. You now have a **snowballed corner on a rectangle**.&#x20;

### <mark style="color:blue;">Alternative Snowballed Corner</mark>

Unlike the example in the first Help Guide, sometimes the snowballed corner does not extend to the full height or width of the rectangle or square.&#x20;

Follow these instructions for creating a snowballed corner that is not the full height or width.

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

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/68Sy8IGIv0pf3slIgZAs" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
2. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Make Custom Block**</mark> button.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/m996ukpqAnSaJrChXBS5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
3. The **Block Editor panel** will slide out and overtake your screen. My block is set to 12" x 6" 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.

   * Since I'm going to be creating a rectangular quilt block with the snowballed corner being half the height and ¼ of the width, I'll set my gridlines to 4 horizontal and 2 vertical unit.
