Hey Sewmom - Yes, all the designs from the project can be enlarged - think of writing your name on a small piece of paper, then writing it again on a HUGE billboard sign. This is simply scale - increase the scale and size of the design, the bigger it will be, the more space it will take up, and the less stiff your quilts will be.

It's true that some designs work better for this than others, so I'd advise you to start with the Independent Designs first - http://www.daystyledesigns.com/365fillerdesignmain.htm

These are all based on Stippling and if you can stitch that design, most of these should come easily to you. Just aim to leave at least 1 - 2 inches between you lines of quilting and your quilt will be soft and cuddly.

Good luck,
