Now that our quilt is designed, lets remove the outer border so we just have the blocks that remain.

The blocks can be rotated 180 degrees in both directions.

This is under the block Rotation under the Adjust Tool. You will need to rotate the blocks in increments of 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, -120 degrees, -60 degrees. Continue to add the partial blocks and fit them around the center block.Set Block > Motifs, Select the partial block and drag it to the quilt.Use the Adjust button to select the block, then use the green tools to Center Horizontal and Center Vertically in the quilt.

First we will update the Quilt Worktable settings to help us better arrange and position the blocks in the quilt.

Next we are going to build our quilt layout.

Go back to the DRAW tab and remove the five pieces as shown, three triangles and two squares.

We are going to edit this block so we can join the blocks together without having any overlap.

You can use the Rotate 180 degree tool for the triangles that need it.

Clone the triangle five times and arrange in the spaces between the squares.

You may have to practice a few times to get it in place. The drawing point starts at the top of the triangle.

Draw it in the space between the squares.

Now, get the Equilateral Triangle shape.

You will need to rotate the squares using increments of 30 degrees and 60 degrees. Place the squares around the hexagon sides. Pick the square and move it over to one side of the hexagon. Use the Selected Segment/Patch properties to make sure it measures 4вЂі on each side. Click the Yellow tool to Center in Block.

You can go to the Selected Segment/Patch properties and make sure the hexagon measures a width of 8 and a height of 7.

Go over to the drawing grid and click and drag to draw a hexagon that is 8вЂі wide.

If you hover over the shape, the name of the shape will appear to guide you.

Under Nudge Settings, change precision bar nudge increments to 1/32 inch.

Under Motif, in the Precision bar, change the block width and height to 16, Snaps horizontal and vertical to 32 and graph paper cells to 8 horizontal and vertical.
