    Default I'm looking for free Pete's Paintbox block instructions

    I have googled and all I found was this gorgeous quilt http://sentimentalstitches.net/2013/...quilt-is-done/ and http://sentimentalstitches.net/wp-co...structions.pdf
    and some instructions for it's 4.5 inch blocks. I would like to make it a bit bigger (say around 6 to 7 inches) and can't find it anywhere on line. Have you seen this at the free quilt block sites?

    The inner part wouldn't be too hard as it is just a square inside a square inside a square inside a square. It is the frame part that is difficult to determine.

    Thanks.

    I would just enlarge the paper pieced version: remove the seam allowance (dotted lines), print it at 133% (if the current size is 4.5, this will make it 6"), then add the 1/4" seam allowance back on.

    Hi Angelina,

    I created two PDFs for you in EQ. One is for a six inch block, the other for a seven inch. Both are for rotary cutting. Hope this helps!

    You're very welcome! Let me know if you need it in a different size or as a paper pieced pattern.

    This is why so many of us are big fans of EQ. This program makes resizing so simple.
