Making Quilt Blocks Larger
by Wilma
I would like directions for 12" blocks instead of 6". These would be for the Fair & Square, Rail Fence, Log Cabin, Four Patch, Flying Geese and Pinwheel.
ANSWERHere you go! Cut your fabric pieces to the sizes listed below. Be aware that your new measurements will differ from the ones in our directions. You'll also have to adjust the size of your sashing strips, border, batting, backing and binding.
You'll continue to sew with 1/4" seam allowances, however. Follow the written directions, and you'll do just fine!
