Blocks Dashboard

Blocks Dashboard

The Block Dashboard is the home of all your quilt blocks - custom blocksarrow-up-right, imported blocks from the PreQuilt Block Libraryarrow-up-right and any AddOn Collaborator block librariesarrow-up-right that you have purchased.

Example Block Dashboard

From the main Block Dashboard, you can:

a | Create a New Block

There are two different starting points for creating a custom blockarrow-up-right - from the Block Dashboard or while designing a quilt. When you create a new block from the Block Dashboard, it is saved in your Block Stasharrow-up-right and can be used in any quilt.

It's important to note that the color tagsarrow-up-right that you use in a block saved on the Block Dashboard will be overwritten by the color tags set in the quilt when you import it into a quilt. To ensure the color tags on your block stay the same, change the color tags on your quilt to match those used in the quilt block.

b | Import Blocks

There are two different libraries from which you can import quilt blocks. Importing a quilt block will save a copy of it in your Block Stasharrow-up-right. You can import blocks from:

  • Free, open source quilt blocks that have been created in PreQuilt

  • Good resource for common traditional quilt blocks

  • Grab and go block resource

PreQuilt Block Library

  • Paid block libraries that coordinate with a specific collaborator's quilt pattern

  • One time payment will unlock the block library & accompanying quilt layouts

Locked AddOn Collaborator Block Libraries

c | Organize Blocks

Your quilt blocks can also be organized into folders. You can create new folders by clicking on the Add a Folder button (). Drag and drop quilt block tiles into folders to move them.

Example of a Block folder named 'Stars' and 2 blocks not organized into a folder

d | Edit Blocks

You can also edit a quilt block from the dashboard by clicking on the Edit Block button located underneath the quilt block on its tile. Other editing options are changing the block name, cloningarrow-up-right the block, and deleting it from the Block Stasharrow-up-right.
