    As far as I can tell, the web site only lists the wall hanging pattern. If they agreed to sell you the fabric for a kingsize, perhaps they would also agree to enlarge the pattern for you??? It's worth a try.

    I've made the small version of this and it's not a difficult quilt--in fact I taught a class on how to make it. The key is to keep the strip sets organized by width. If you are making the large (king), all you have to do is multiply all the cutting directions by 4. The king size is just four of the small size stitched together like a four patch.

    What some times works for me is to read the directions and then I rewrite them in my own hand writting. Some times the writing process helps with the learning curve.....Draw pictures....figure out that one block will use one strip, then 12 blocks will use 12 strips....just take it one sentence at a time...YOU can do this, just take it one step at a time....

    Dunster has a point. They should be able to provide you with the measurements and more complete directions. I'd call them and have them email the instructions. Surely someone in her shop has made that size, not just the wallhanging size, to determine the correct amount of fabric and to check the pattern for correctness. At the price of her kits, which I love, the directions for the size you ordered should be included.

    You can download the pattern for free from their site as well, it's 7 pages long though. The measurements etc. for the cutting are given for the original size.

    I think Krista has the right idea for you. You will be fine. Say a little prayer each time you work on it.

    A friend of mine love, love, loves JB's quilts. When she has hit a snag she picks up the phone and asks questions. They are very helpful there. Good luck
