# 03 Panel Quilt Grid

## <mark style="color:blue;">Create the quilt grid</mark>

Now that you have the math figured out, let's create our quilt grid that will work with your panel using the correct sized cell blocks and the correct number of rows and columns.

1. After measuring and deciding on your common block size, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**QUILT**</mark> tab in the PreQuilt [*<mark style="color:blue;">Dashboard</mark>*](/welcome-to-prequilt/about-this-help-guide/glossary.md#dashboard).

3. In the pop-up, use the **Rectangle Grid** and <mark style="color:blue;">**change the size**</mark> of your blocks (in this example to 4" square blocks) and click on '<mark style="color:blue;">**Use This Grid**</mark>'.

4. Add the necessary number of columns or rows to your quilt grid to fit your panel and the border you'd like to have around the panel. In this example, I'll need to have 10 columns and 12 rows.
   1. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**GRID**</mark> tab on the left hand control panel.
   2. Then <mark style="color:blue;">**change the number**</mark> of columns or rows you'll need and click '<mark style="color:blue;">**Update**</mark>' to save.
