# c | Add new blocks to quilt

## <mark style="color:blue;">Exercise 05c</mark>

**05c** | *Create custom Kaleidoscope quilt using the new block variations.*&#x20;

***Objective*** | To bulk select and bulk replace blocks on the digital design wall. To understand how to replace and add one off blocks while keeping all the rest.

***Did You Know*** | You don't need to switch out and replace all blocks. You can cherry pick and create multiple blocks to switch out and replace to create a truly unique Kaleidoscope quilt.

### <mark style="color:blue;">01 | Bulk Replacing All Occurrences of a Block</mark>

It's easy to replace all of one block with all of another through bulk selection.

1. On the digital design wall, click on one of the <mark style="color:blue;">**blocks**</mark> you want to remove. In this example, I'm going to click on one of the Kaleidoscope B blocks.

   * <mark style="color:blue;">**TIP:**</mark> When you click on a block on the digital design wall, the name of the block will appear at the top of the Quilt Editor window.

### <mark style="color:blue;">02 | Replacing Specific Occurrences of a Block</mark>

Another option is to only replace single occurrences of a block. This will keep both the original block and the new variation in the quilt design.

1. On the digital design wall, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**block**</mark> you want to remove. In this example, I'm going to click on one of the Kaleidoscope A blocks.
   * <mark style="color:blue;">**TIP:**</mark> When you click on a block on the digital design wall, the name of the block will appear at the top of the Quilt Editor window.
