Help Guide

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 one of the Sawtooth Star blocks in the quilt grid and right click. Select the Select = Blocks option to select all of the same blocks as the one highlighted.

  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 RANDOMIZE tab on the left side control panel.

  4. Click on the Rotate button to randomly rotate all the selected blocks.

  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.

  6. Click outside the quilt grid to deselect the blocks and view the quilt's new layout.

  7. Don't forget to save!
