Default Resizing Quilt Blocks??

Often times we see posts/threads asking about converting quilt blocks/patterns to a different size.

While surfing the web today, and going down a few rabbit holes, I came across this.
Looks like it could be a good help to those wanting to change up patterns.

Resizing Cheat Sheet for Art East Quilting Co Patterns (wsimg.com)

The true bonus to me of this find was more so in finding the perfect pattern for a thank you gift I want to make!

Default Resizing Quilt Blocks

When I first starting to make quilts for people, I purchased a booklet called " No Math Quilt Charts & Formulas" by Landauer Publishing. I found it at a local quilt shop. I also found on the web, Quilt Blocks Galore. Theses blocks were sorted by size. By taking the formula from the booklet I could resize the blocks on my copier and get what I needed for that quilt. It has become very handy for me.

I resize quilt blocks/patterns all the time using my EQ-8 software. It's fast and easy.
