Went to website...oh my!...then went to pdf for corrections...looked at all the many, many different size pieces....ah, no thanks, want to keep what little sanity I have left.....but for those who have are, or will do, my hat is off to you...it is a very intriguing pattern...oh, btw, I looked for the odd things that drive someone here over the edge(sorry forgot who), couldn't see what it was...point out please, thanks
Also I agree with spruce on resizing to that obscure fraction....no way! Jmho

I'm glad you mentioned this, as it is a quirk that is very unsettling. I believe to make a new Labyrinth quilt sized perfectly for a baby quilt and for a Throw would be a good challenge. It could be a true maze so that the mouse can escape without going crazy... and it would be more calming to the eye. I hope to see your completed work, susananne, I'll be watching.

I think you could go with 4 or 6 blocks and still have the labyrinth effect. I made this quilt and didn't find it so hard as long as I put all my cut pieces in separate baggies, labeled, was careful to sew my seams exactly a scant 1/4" and pressed very carefully. The cutting process did take almost as long as the piecing. It was worth it just for the wow factor I get from everybody who sees it. And be sure to get the pattern corrections from the designer's website.

Yes, that bothered me about this pattern too. So I created my own labyrinth, with a true path through the quilt. It's not that difficult, but it was very time consuming.

I bought the Labyrinth Walk pattern and fabric to make it but I'd like to do it as a throw. The pattern is for a queen. Has anyone reduced it or know how to? I do not have EQ. Engineer hubby resized it by calculations and formulas but I can not cut to the 32nd of an inch. 
It is not the kind of pattern that blocks can be removed from as it is only 9 large blocks and they are all part of the design. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think four blocks, 2x2 is your best bet, too. If you use the two upper left blocks, and the lower two right blocks, you would only have to tweak the outer white edge & corner shadings on the lower left & upper right.

I decided to go with the 2x2 format on this. Here are some pictures of the end result. Had some left over fabric so I made a fun back.[ATTACH=CONFIG]557313[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]557314[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]557312[/ATTACH]
