You might check with Rhonda here on the board. She works with minatures a lot I think. Worth a try anyway. Good luck - Do want to see it when it is finished however large you make the blocks.

For me that would be PURE punishment to have to try and work with that small of a block. I don't like little blocks much anyway, but sometimes a pattern calls for them, but I know I wouldn't attempt to make a quilt with blocks that small or pieces in a larger block that were to be that small. Like someone else said, can you enlarge the pattern pieces? i would definitely try that. If you need to enlarge it, and not sure how to go about it, pm me I have a page I printed out about how to go about enlarging or reducing block sizes.
