I'm attempting to design a quilt top around a panel (fabric that has a printed picture on it). I have a block pattern I wanted to use around the top and bottom of the panel, but it is 3" square. I need 12" block. So it stands to reason that you simply multiply all your measurements by 4, right? I thought that made perfect sense - until it didn't. I'm not sure how, but my blocks are NOT coming out right. I wasted a lot of material cutting them down to size so I could make an enlarged 16.5" block. On the plus side, I won't have to make as many blocks.
So one block is made, and we'll see what will become of the others. I would see live and learn, except I've not figured out where I went wrong yet so I'm not sure I've learned anything.
