My sister in law asked me to make a table runner from a pattern that is 14.5 inches wide. Problem is she wants it to be 12 inches. Its a star pattern. Suppose to make 3 strips 1.2 inches wide and cut at a diagonal 3.5 inches. I'm afraid that if I cut the diagonals too small the star won't turn out. There is also blocks and strips to fill in and I'm not sure how to adjust.
Seems like with a 1.5 inch strip it doesn't leave much room for decreasing the size and still have enough for a seam allowance.
I tried to find another pattern but this is the one she wants.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
