This month's pattern is a 10" pattern and all our blocks need to be 12" so everyone is adding a bit to the bottom and side....like some grass or something :D

I don't think there is a 'rule' that blocks have to be 12". If you plan to do a layout of 3x4 with sashing then you'll have to add so make all blocks equal. I plan to wait until other blocks are done to determine the type of layout I want.

Actually, you don't have to make the blocks 12" if you don't want to. I like a variety of block sizes in a quilt like this. It does make it a little more involved putting it together but you can always do as Pam did adding different size blocks to make the quilt the way you want it.

Edited: mommamac: you type faster than I do! :-D

I had to mess with mine a little more to get it to work...it finally worked at 108%, but I wouldn't have figured it out without your instructions, so THANK YOU!!!

I got this from the November 2010 BOM. I've used it several times now and I didn't know how to enlarge either...........Hope this helps.

How to change the size of your print-out.

1. Click on Template A
2. Left click on File
3. Go to Print Preview
4. On that ribbon, go to the box that says "Shrink to fit"
5. Click on the down arrow
6. Scroll to Custom, click
7. Type in 111% as your starting point, hit Enter
8. Place your cursor on the Printer on the same ribbon
9. Left click
10. Printer box comes up. Be sure you only print one for now. Measure the “Test 1inch” box and make sure it measures 1 inch.

If it doesn’t………keep adjusting the 111% up or down till you get the right size.

We are finding only the Template A needs to be adjusted and printed in “Landscape” mode. However, check the test box on each as you print them.

I finally figured out how to add my pictures! I was wondering if I really have to wait till the first of every month to get the next Block! LOL :lol:

What a lovely block! I like the flowers in the lawn. :-)

I have been very busy lately and haven't commented much but I am super impressed with the creativity and craftsmanship (craftswomanship?) of those who are doing this BOM. It is such an inspiration seeing all the different ways this block has been handled. The color and fabric choices have been wonderful and there has been a rich variety of embellishments. Can hardly wait to see next month's blocks. Thanks to all!

I really like your block -- it is cheery!!

Here is my church. This is my first time paper piecing and my first BOM!! I am doing the star BOM too, so it should be a busy year!!
