Straight from the internet to the printer, 200% isn't the correct size on my computer.

When up-sizing to a 12.5" block, I am having a lot of fabric waste when using a full size foundation. However, those cut out scraps are big enough to use in another project. In the 6.5" blocks, the waste seems miniscule in comparison!
Very pretty Jupiter! My favorite is the big block - love those fabrics together!
