I don't know what else to call it :roll:

I'm looking for a large pattern with maybe a star pattern in the center and work out from there with blank space and a border or two. Overall size being around 48" square. I saw one in the pic section yesterday but forgot everything about it! Not sure how to enlarge a, say, 12" block. Does any of this make sense?!

TIA, Karen

I've seen Stack and Whack/OBWs done as a giant Lone Star....

I would think that you can take any block pattern and multiply the measurements to get to the size you want it to be. For example, if you have a 12" lone start block adn want it 48", you multipy each piece by 4, taking out the seam allowance. So using a 9patch, you would have 9-4 1/2" squares. To make it 48" you would have 9- 16 1/2 squares and sew together. I hope this kind makes sense!!!

That quilter's cache site does have a 24" Carpenter's Wheel. Perhaps just double the the sizes.

I did a Sara's star using 12 inch squares but into HST it fit the top of the bed and put borders on it to make a queen size.
