# 03 | Add blocks to quilt grid

## <mark style="color:blue;">Exercise 03</mark>

**03** | *Add 1+ blocks to the quilt grid.*

***Objective*** | To add our custom block to the quilt grid (that we created in Exercise 01).&#x20;

### <mark style="color:blue;">01 | Adding Block to Entire Quilt Grid</mark>

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.

2. In the BLOCKS tab, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Add To Quilt**</mark> button next to the Sawtooth Star block.

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

### <mark style="color:blue;">02 | Removing Quilt Blocks from the Quilt Grid</mark>

To remove a quilt block or multiple quilt blocks from the quilt grid:

1. Select the quilt block(s) you want to remove by <mark style="color:blue;">**clicking**</mark> on them.
2. On the keyboard, press the <mark style="color:blue;">**Delete**</mark> button.&#x20;
   * **Note:** You can also use the Back Space button to delete blocks.
3. The selected blocks have been removed and the corresponding quilt grid cells are now empty.

### <mark style="color:blue;">03 | Using the Selection Tool Button</mark>

Another option is to use the [*<mark style="color:blue;">Selection Tool</mark>*](https://glossary.prequilt.com/pq-glossary/ss#selection-tool) button found on the vertical [*<mark style="color:blue;">Toolbar</mark>*](https://glossary.prequilt.com/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 <mark style="color:blue;">**Selection Tools**</mark> button (<img src="/files/qCLzM5Aohv4tiYZebAr3" alt="" data-size="line">) on the vertical Toolbar.

2. Click on one of the selection options. In this example, I've selected <mark style="color:blue;">**Checker Odd**</mark>.

3. In the BLOCKS tab, click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Add To Quilt**</mark> button next to the Sawtooth Star block.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/VJuU8BmoyLgkvcsqXCOw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
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.
