The Erase Block Tool

Use this tool to remove a block from the quilt. Click the block you want to erase.

The Ctrl key on your keyboard + click on a block will erase every block.
The Alt key on your keyboard + click on a block will erase alternate blocks.

However, using Ctrl + click and Alt + click on some layout styles will not work the same as they do on Horizontal/Straight layouts. You may have to repeat the Ctrl + click and Alt + click to achieve the desired goal.

The Erase Block tool is not recommended for Custom Set quilts, Layer 2 or 3 because it will leave a blank block placeholder.

In these cases, use the Adjust tool  to select your block, then press your keyboard Delete key on your keyboard to remove the block.
