Interface

The Quilt Editor puts your full layout on a Metal-rendered canvas. A tabbed panel on the right gives you access to grid controls, your block library, fill tools, and actions.

Toolbar

The toolbar runs along the top of the screen:

• Back — Return to Quilt Studio
• Undo / Redo — Step through your edit history

Canvas

The canvas shows your full quilt layout rendered with real colors and fabrics. Pinch to zoom in on detail or zoom out to see the whole quilt. Two-finger drag to pan.

The four-tab panel

The Quilt Editor organizes its tools into four tabs along the right side:

• Layout — Grid settings, layout adjustments, and quilt-level options. This is where you set rows, columns, grid type, sashing widths, borders, and binding.
• Patterns — Browse your block library and assign blocks into the quilt grid. Drag blocks into cells or tap to assign.
• Fills — Assign colors and fabrics to quilt-level elements. The fills panel uses a two-tier system: element tabs at the top let you select what you're filling (sashing, borders, cornerstones, binding), and source tabs below let you choose with what (color picker, fabric swatches, palette).
• Actions — Gradient wash, colorway controls, coloring page export, and display toggles for rulers and grid overlay.

Adaptive layout

In landscape orientation, the panel stays visible on the right side of the canvas. In portrait orientation, the canvas takes the full width, and the panel slides in as an overlay when you tap the panel toggle strip along the right edge. This same adaptive layout works in Split View, Slide Over, and Stage Manager.

Selecting cells

Tap a cell in the quilt grid to select it. With a cell selected, you can assign or swap blocks from the Patterns tab. Tap sashing strips or border elements to select and fill them individually from the Fills tab.
