Exercise 06

06 | Update fabric links & download quilt map, 1+ colorway and/or color palette.

Objective | To manage different colorways and download color palettes.

Did You Know | Downloading the image of your quilt makes an excellent quilt map for when you construct your quilt. And downloading the color palette helps when you go shopping.

*Always double check your real fabric, digital swatches look different depending on your monitor settings.

01 | Downloading & Saving Current Colorway

  1. On the central , click on the Download Image button ().

  2. A pop-up window will open with the quilt map on the left hand side and the colorway on the right hand side.

  3. Click on the Download the Design button (on the left side) to download only the quilt map.

  4. Click on Download the Colors + Blocks button (on the right side) to download the color swatches and block information.

02 | Creating New Colorway

  1. Click on the FABRIC LINK tab on the left side control panel.

  2. Click on the down arrow next to Original Colorway to activate the dropdown menu.

  3. Click on Clone Existing Colorway.

  4. Name your colorway and click on Save.

  5. Change the colors for your quilt design. In this example, I changed the colors associated with the Fabric Links to these colors.

    • ATTN: The last color palette standing will automatically be saved as this new colorway. To save it, click on clone it by repeating Steps 02.2-4.

  6. Repeat Steps 02.2-5 as many times as you'd like colorways for.

    • ATTN: When creating a new colorway, don't forget to Clone Existing Colorway BEFORE you change the colors.

    • In this example, I have 3 different colorways.

  7. To toggle back and forth between your colorways, click on the down arrow next to the name of the colorway you're currently viewing.

  8. Click on the name of the colorway you'd like to view. In this example, I'll click on Second. Now I'll see the second colorway again.

To download the quilt map, block information and color swatches for each colorway, repeat .
