Hi everyone
I have the Fold and stitch wreath pattern ( poor house quilt designs) and have made it, but I want to make it smaller at five inches rather than six inches. Could anyone possibly help me with the template? I’m driving myself crazy with this. Thank you in advance

I found it! From Shabby Fabrics. OOps it's not a free pattern but Jen makes it on Youtube.

If you google how to resize a fold and stitch wreath pattern templates, AI gives you instructions on how to do it. I don't know that they will work but you could try it.

My grandmother and great aunt use to make these using a lot of squares sewn together front and back like a potholder. I think she used milk filters as the batting. Similar to coffee filters now but more plush. I know she starched the squares very stiff. I would think you could make the squares finished to 5 inches but I don't know about a template. They sold a lot of these from small to large with vases.

I would think that you would reduce it as a percentage? Like if the 6" is 100%, then 5" is some like 83% of that... reduce the template that much... or, if the size doesn't have to be exactly precise, making the new template 80% the size of the original would work..
Edit to add - many printers will do this if you look in the settings...

On Tamara's Joy youtube, she cut 5 1/2 inch squares. Folding template came in 2 3/4 inch on big corner and 3/4 inch on narrow end. I tried to copy link but couldn't. Hope this helps.

That’s a great idea using the printer to downsize. Thank you
