Block Library

The Block Library makes it easy to add blocks to a quilt. You can also use the Block Library to place blocks on the Design Wall.

To open the Block Library, click on the Block Library Button in the Toolbar.

To Open a Block and Place it on the Design Wall

1. You can also find folders by clicking on the list above the folder thumbnails. Find the folder you want in the list and click on it to open the folder and see the blocks.

TIP: Opening Multiple Blocks

Each time you open a block, you will also open a separate window, each with it's own block. For example, if you open five blocks, you will open five windows. You can open multiple blocks into the same window. To do this, open the File Menu and select Preferences. Click on the Block Open Tab. Click off the checkmark next to "Open File in New Doc" Now you can open two or more blocks into the same window.

Add Blocks to a Quilt

1. Open the Block Library button and find your block.

1. Click on the block and then click on the quilt where you want the block to go. Perfect Quilt will place the block on the quilt. Repeat as needed.
