I thought a book might give me more information on how to "math it out" for a larger quilt and if I cannot create it without the pattern...logically I would go that route as well.
Aside: Tim....I get the color thing...my avatar I hopefully shows I am not shy with colors. John
You might look at some of his other patterns....I have included a link. These patters say what sizes are in them. I just did Illusions, and it came in two sizes. Perhaps one of these might be close to what you want. I have enlarged a few Bargello patterns, and it wasn't any fun. You might be better at it than I was.

However, I have to agree with ManiacQuilter2.....Eileen Wright's books are excellent, good quilts and good instructions, plus each book has about ten quilts in it. I got my books from Amazon.
Let me see if I can find a a picture my Illusion quilt.
