paths & stiles
Does anyone have a 12" pattern for paths & styles? Quilters Cache and About
only have 9" and I'm not great at enlarging patterns. Thanks -- Boca Jan Florida - Land of the Hurricanes boca_jan1atyahoodotcom http://community.webshots.com/user/BocaJan |

Jan -- this one isn't to bad to enlarge at all.
as a 9" block -- each section is 3" finished. for a 12" block -- they need to be 4" finished. -- so you take the **FINISHED** size and multiply by 1.33. The HST blocks are easy to enlarge. So your half square triangle blocks (your block corners -- need to measure 4" -- so cut your squares at 4 7/8 (I usually do the full extra inch -- then trim) then draw a diagonal line - and sew on either side -- so each 5" square (2 fabrics) creates 2 HST blocks. Your rail-fence-like blocks also need to be 4" finished -- so each section (finished) would need to be 1 1/3 inch finished -- which is a "strange measurement. If it were me... I'd probably tweak the block a little and do the center stripe at 1 1/2" (finished) and the sides at 1 1/4" (finished). Thus you would cut your "white - based on Quilter's Cache pictures) at 1 3/4" wide and the blue/green at 2" The center square would be finished 4" -- so cut at 4 1/2" If you really wanted the rail-fence-like blocks to look like pretty equal stripes -- then cut each strip at 1 7/8" -- then trim lightly on the sides after you have sewn the block together. You would need to trim like 1/16 from each side -- so wouldn't be very noticeable at all. Hope this all makes sense. -- and if my math is wrong -- please someone jump in and correct me! -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Boca Jan" wrote in message ...

Oooohh, that's pretty! The print looks like one of my all-time
favorites. I bought about a dozen yards of it in different color-ways at some point in the past. I'll have to pull some of it out and try this block. It looks great! Rita L.
