In this sub-module, you'll learn how to use the Color Randomizer feature in PreQuilt to be able to find surprising color combinations. This feature for when you don't know exactly what fabrics you'd like to use and can often be used as a starting point for your color play.
You can either use the defaulted Kona color card to randomly select fabrics OR you can use another solid fabric manufacturer or a custom fabric pull to randomize from. The custom fabric pull is a great way to limit your options to a specific fabric pull or your physical fabric stash.
To learn more about randomly using your Fabric Stash, check out our .
If the Color Randomizer isn't working, it's because you are not using any Fabric Links in your quilt.
When you use the Color Randomizer, it is always defaulted to the Kona color card.
Once you click on the Randomize button, you will notice that your fabric links have all be randomly assigned a different Kona solid fabric.
Continue clicking the Randomize button until you have found a color combination that you like.
To control what fabric manufacturer or fabric pull being used:
Click on the RANDOMIZE tab on the left side control panel.
From the dropdown, click on the Randomize using your Fabric Pull option.
Click on the Select button for whatever fabric manufacturer you'd like to have your fabrics randomly selected from. In this example, I'll select Andover.
You will now see that the locked Fabric Link C remains Kona Candy Pink, but the other two Fabric Links (A & B) have now been randomly assigned Andover solid fabrics.
Click on the Randomize button () from the central vertical control panel.
As you find fabrics that you like, you can click on the Lock button () so that they will no longer randomize (optional).
Click on the Three Dots button () to the right of the Randomize Colors button.
Click on the Randomize button () from the central vertical control panel.
