to all who are having problems with the pattern sizes, Chek the square with a ruler,,,then scale the zoom % until you get to the exact 1" match. The printed page should be correct. Good Luck, Jean OK

I hope that may be helpful to someone.

That was exactly the problem with mine....when I hit print, it said something about shrinking to size. When I changed the page scaling to 'none,' it was perfect! Thanks!

Ronda, don't worry. I made it work, changed some printer settings and it's 6" now. Non scaling was on but I used 'page settings from PDF file' as well and now it's working just fine.
I love cats and always wanted to make one (or more) but never did so now I'm finally making cats

Thanks for this lovely block!

Yay!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! I finally got it to print at 6". I didn't realize there was a "none" on the scaling. I so wanted to make this cat block. Now I bet I won't be able to get a pic to load.lol
