When set on point like that - it makes it interesting - the pattern blocks have a lot in common - but there is something 'different' about them that I think would make viewers ponder about what it IS that is different about them.

If you have difficulty with the math, the easiest way to do it is to rule it up on grid paper.

I will definitely be using grid paper to figure this one out. I am of a generation still comfortable with this method and it usually works for me. Thanks for your advice ! |
When some one comes up with the exact measurements could you please post a tutorial? I am kind of numb when it comes to figuring out things like this. Thanks in advance.

http://www.thequiltedsnail.com/scale.html Great chart that I use quite a lot. Have it posted next to my desk. But alas this printer I now have does not enlarge/decrease! Boy, next time will I ever check for this!!!! My last one did & l love it.... HP |
Not certain where I found this but my quilt guild thought WOW easy
Ya start with whatcha want, and ya divide it by whatcha got So So punch "20" into your calculator first. Hit the division key, then enter the number "ya got," which is 12. Press the = key The number 1.66666666 pops up. The copy machine wants a percentage so move that pesky decimal point to the right by two spots, and then you're done. in this case it would then be 166. forget about the others as this is not a suspension bridge. Remember - ya start with whatcha want You begin with your GOAL. So you can enlarge or reduce size this way. |

According to my proportional scale you would have to increase by 163% to go from 12" to 20". Don't know if that is helpful or not.
