Want to resize a block
1 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]325142[/ATTACH]I am having trouble downsizing a block and getting the right measurements for the pieces. I am trying to get the Barn Raising block down to a 2" block. I just can't seam to get it right. Being an old girl,I don't have all the fancy programs that could do this calulation for me. There is just to much to search through on line to get to anything I need. I have myself so mind-block I can't see straight. I have never tried to resize a block before. Here's a shout out for help. The one pictured is 5 1/2" sq.
Thanks in advance for any takers on this one. peace |
Dark wine square - 1-1/2" square
white - 2-1/2" square cut in half brownish tan - 3" square cut in half |
draw the finished size on graft paper and add seam allowances to each piece.
Do you mean that what we see in the picture should be a total of 2" finished? |
for that block to be done at 2" you need to paper piece it!
|
wow.. that is going to be one itty bitty block !!
|
I agree with Jackie that paper piecing is the only way to go. Some the pieces will be under 1".
