# d | Add blocks to quilt ## Exercise 03d **03d** | *Add blocks to the quilt grid.* ***Objective*** | To add our custom block to the quilt grid (that we created in Exercise 01). ### 01 | Adding Block to Entire Quilt Grid First option is adding the same block to every cell block in the entire quilt. 1. Click on the infinity sign (∞) in the top left corner of the quilt grid. * **Note:** All the cells are selected and are outlined in blue. * ![](https://2632437258-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZIxhpDEaPtVb8DXlSENh%2Fuploads%2FMi4oI3IKyILr4SQAePp3%2Fa%2001%20inifinity%20selected.png?alt=media\&token=94c66f30-66b9-4f06-9606-d935e0f2ab7e) 2. In the BLOCKS tab, click on the **Add To Quilt** button next to the Autumn Tints block.

3. Deselect the cells by clicking anywhere outside the quilt grid. The result is the same block in every spot on the quilt.

On the keyboard, press the **Delete** button. * **Note:** You can also use the Back Space button to delete blocks. * **Note:** To delete all blocks, click on the infinity sign (∞) in the top left corner of the grid. 3. The selected blocks have been removed and the corresponding quilt grid cells are now empty.

### 03 | Using the Selection Tool Button Another option is to use the [*Selection Tool*](https://glossary.prequilt.com/pq-glossary/ss#selection-tool) button found on the vertical [*Toolbar*](https://app.gitbook.com/s/6bPmBgJH7XZ5gcieNGS3/pq-glossary/ts#toolbar) to select cells blocks in the quilt grid. This has many options, so give them all a try. In this example, I'll showcase one of the checkerboard options. 1. *Starting with a blank quilt grid*, click on the **Selection Tools** button (

) on the vertical Toolbar.

2. Click on one of the selection options. In this example, I've selected **Checker Odd**.

3. In the BLOCKS tab, click on the **Add To Quilt** button next to the Autumn Tints block.

4. Deselect the cells by clicking anywhere outside the quilt grid. The result is the same block has been added to a checkerboard pattern on the quilt.
