    While I was surfing, someone told about a book that tells you how change the size of blocks/quilts. She gave the name and where to find it. Now I can't find the message. Does anyone remember it?

    maybe you can "search on here and try to find it by using key words. Good luck

    I went under "search" and typed in "Block changing size" and it brought up a few posts. Good luck. Hope this helps'

    Well, the one thing I know that does NOT work is doubling the size of all the pieces. Trust me on this, I learned it the hard way. This does not give you a block that is twice as big, it gives you pieces that do not fit together after the center round. LOL
