This topic was 14 years ago, but it is exactly what I need to read today. I've read so many ways to do this, but Aunt Mag's method is the one that actually made sense to me. So thank you!

If you used simple squares and they finish at say 2" in the block, just double at 4" and add 1/2" seam allowance - cut 4 1/2".
HSTs would need a little extra, cut 5" sqs sew, and trim to 4 1/2"

If I can I use my printer. It has a tab where I can enlarge anything up to the 8 1/2 by 11 inches. I have even split it in half , then reconstruct it back together with tape. I also put marks on the copy so that I can realign the pattern back in the right direction.

I've used this method to enlarge and reduce patterns. It's very easy and foolproof. Added plus, NO MATH!
