01 | Digital coloring pages

Exercise 01

01 | Change 1+ color tags on a digital coloring page.

Objective | To understand the relationship between a color tag and a block piece and to understand that when the fabric of a color tag changes all tagged block pieces will also change.

Did You Know | All digital coloring pages offered on PreQuilt use color tags. This enables the customer to still be able to use pattern instructions for constructing their quilt, since only the fabric being used is being changed.

01 | Select a Digital Coloring Page

There is a wide selection of digital coloring pages created by independent designers on the PreQuilt Market Page.

1. Visit the Market Page and find a digital coloring page to use for this exercise.

02 | Edit Color Tags on Digital Coloring Pages

To get a chance to see color tags in action, we're going to first play with a digital coloring page. All digital coloring pages on PreQuilt use color tags to manage which fabric is used for each specific block piece in the quilt.

1. Go to the PreQuilt digital coloring page for Karen Bolan's Cool as a Cactus Quilt: https://app.prequilt.com/market/karenbolan/coolcactus-lap#
