A fun, free feature of the free quilt design software at MyWebQuilter.com is quilt block coloring.
The coloring page consists of two steps. Step 1 lets you choose a color to change.
There is a little box above the blocks for each of the colors in the basic block. To change a color, click on the little box. The selected color box is larger than the others. So white is selected in the picture below.
Next, click on one of the colors in the Basics, Solids or Prints lists under Step 2: Choose New Color. If you are looking for a specific color, click on the small color boxes at the top or type the name of a color and click search.
On the screen above I clicked on Blue to only see shades of blue in the solids and print lists. I also change White to Green Stone.
After you log in you will see the following page asking if you want to save the colors.
