    If you take it to any copy shop they can print it to the size you would like. If you tell them you want it to become a 12" block, they can do the math for you. Just be aware that the printing fees will be more costly if you have to go into a specialty size paper, to get a foundation that sized :wink: They can tell you what they will charge, per each size increment. Ex 8", 10" or 12" block sizes.

    Since this pattern is on 2 pages, it should be fairly easy to enlarge on a large format copier. Take it to a copy shop as suggested, and they can do it.

    There is an engineers ruler that is about $5 that you put in the measurement you have and look across to size you want and it will tell you how much to increase the copier setting -some quilt stores have them but can be found at an office supply place as well.

    They are probably handy, but I already have a calculator and it works great! Isn't free enterprise handy to suppply a gadget for every need.

    I use the Quilted Snail chart frequently. It's quicker than doing the math.

    Ok I have to admit this but I probably shouldn't. I am not smarter than my 5th grader. He looked at me and said can't you use the protractor to make the lines Mom. go figure he would have thought of that lol, anyway here is a picture of the block I did .
