Question on enlarging bargello
I'm planning on making "Cosmic Twist" from Eileen Wright's "Twist and Turn Bargello". I have the book and charts.
The quilt needs to finish as a king size quilt. The design as printed is 58 3/4" x 80 1/2".
I can:
- put borders on
- change each strip width
- add more strips on each side to carry on the design
I've charted it out - adding 1/2" to each strip and adding a border would get the size needed.
Has anyone changed the design by changing the strip size? I'm concerned about losing the effect of the design. I'm thinking changing all strips by the same factor would keep the design but would love to know if anyone has tried this and how it worked out.
Many thanks,
Linda
