To randomly rotate your quilt blocks:

1. In this example, I'm going to want to randomly rotate all the star blocks in this quilt. To select them all, click on <mark style="color:blue;">**one of the Sawtooth Star blocks**</mark> in the quilt grid and <mark style="color:blue;">**right click**</mark>. Select the <mark style="color:blue;">**Select = Blocks**</mark> option to select all of the same blocks as the one highlighted.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Qb6iKP4kZ6QVrLDNMP9s" alt="" width="218"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
2. You will now see that all the block cells that hold a Sawtooth Star block are selected on the quilt grid.

3. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**RANDOMIZE tab**</mark> on the left side control panel.

4. Click on the <mark style="color:blue;">**Rotate button**</mark> to randomly rotate all the selected blocks.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/rTtdEJczOl1Ttopuxf91" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
5. You will now see that the blocks have been randomly rotated and no longer point in the same direction. Repeat step 4 until you have a layout you prefer.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/SddQbK0tU8d3KWblCOCD" alt=""><figcaption><p>Blocks are pointing the same direction</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/LNdSw2QV5yEBQMPNMxLp" alt=""><figcaption><p>Blocks randomly rotated</p></figcaption></figure></div>
6. Click <mark style="color:blue;">**outside the quilt grid**</mark> to deselect the blocks and view the quilt's new layout.

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/14lUX0tGJu0BbkuCDRgK" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
7. Don't forget to <mark style="color:blue;">**save**</mark>!
