# 04 | Create colorways

## <mark style="color:blue;">Exercise 04</mark>

**04** | *Create 2+ colorways for your Autumn Tints quilt.*

***Objective*** | To manage different colorways and download color palette information for a specific colorway.

***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.*

### <mark style="color:blue;">03 | Shuffling Color Tags</mark>

1. Click on <mark style="color:blue;">**Clone Existing Colorway**</mark>.

3. <mark style="color:blue;">**Unlock**</mark> all color tags.
