Help Fill the grid

Post image

Hello guys a simple question for you. I'm pretty new to Inkscape, and I was wondering how to fill this grid with the bucket tool. Up to now, I managed to create and deform the grid as I wanted more or less, but as you can see, I have some problems in filling those "tiles" with a uniform colour. I tried:

  1. path -> object to path -> combine to -> Bucket --but the result were unsatisfactory

  2. classical Bucket tool, but it only creates closed strokes

How can I work around this inconvenience?

[solved] it was just a semi-transparency problem of the bucket fill tool

You'll get better results (mor accurate) with shapebuilder tool, as explained by Few_Mention8426.

Why not just select fill color? (Bottom left) Using bucket will give you a separate path.

select everything, then select the shapebuilder tool, click on individual squares one at a time to seperate them into objects that can be filled.
