# Quilt Top

{% hint style="danger" %}
**ATTN**: Create your quilt blocks in PreQuilt using the [<mark style="color:blue;">**Build a Block Unit guidelines**</mark>](https://help.prequilt.com/build-a-block-unit-and-block/build-a-block-unit-for-auto-recognition)! When you build your blocks as directed, the Fabric Calculator should be able to auto-recognize the shapes and give you the intended fabric calculations.
