It is a good way to enlarge and make the motif fit the space.
Yep, I didn't think about more bridges. I just copied the ones on the original stencil. At least it didn't fall apart! :roll: Hopefully it will work ok. I haven't started marking since I am trying to get the back pieced in a way that doesn't look too hodgepodge. I am trying to use my scraps so I don't have to buy more fabric. Mainly because the shop I got it in is a 25 minute drive. Each way.
