I made the wreath today , the one that has been shown here numerous times, came out very cute.
What I would like to do is make that same wreath bigger but am a little stumped as how to lay out the 5 inch squares to acheive that... maybe add more center area and another row of 'color' pinwheels in the circle....anyone care to have a guess as how to do this...??

Work out a sketch - start with center block & use background color - as you add one to each side horizontally, add one to each side of center block vertically. The more you add, the bigger the wreath... make sense?

I made a bigger one! When you lay out the wreath section, just add another row of blocks, in those fabrics, all the way around the wreath part. Then add your background blocks, the way you would have originally, & your borders. Mine came out great, love it!

I just tried sketching one out as suggested but I am not getting it ...I went another round with a 3rd color and have ended up with way too many background in the corners .
9 blocks by 9 blocks ??
9 blocks by 9 blocks ??

I came up with a grid 9x9
B=background C= color
B-B-C-C-C-C-C-B-B
B-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-B
C-C-C-C-B-C-C-C-C
C-C-C-B-B-B-C-C-C
C-C-B-B-B-B-B-C-C
C-C-C-B-B-B-C-C-C
C-C-C-C-B-C-C-C-C
B-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-B
B-B-C-C-C-C-C-B-B
I think this might work - looks right on graph paper.
B=background C= color
B-B-C-C-C-C-C-B-B
