By choosing Add Plain Block from the pop-up menu, a new plain block gets added to the end of the block list in your palette.

Plain Blocks are often used in Custom Set quilts.  Plain blocks can also be used on Layer 2.

If you want a plain block in your quilt on Layer 1 simply color the empty quilt block space with the Paintbrush tool. You do not need to add a plain block. Once the empty space is colored, it will act as a plain block.
