    I'd like to make this block http://www.quilterscache.com/P/Pinwheel8Block.html But it's a 10" finished block and I'd like it to be 12 1/2" finished.

    How do I convert it? I really stink at math! LOL

    Are you sure you want 12 1/2 FINISHED?

    12 1/2 unfinished, allowing for 1/4" seams to connect the blocks

    Okay...I thought that would be the case. Are you wanting to do it with templates?

    I'm not good with converting a block either, but maybe you could just do a search of the block name.
