OK, I must admit to everyone that, even though I've been sewing for 40 years, I am mathematically and geometrically challenged. Does anyone know of any simple method (that I can understand) to enlarge quilt blocks. I'm a dork and still trying to teach myself simple equations, even though I've had a home sewing business for several years. I'm OK with doing calculations but I'm not sure what calculations to do to enlarge a block. Thanks in advance for any and all help anyone can give me.
Georgetown, CA I'd Rather Be Quilting
I would love a copy of the chart. Math and I are not even on the same planet. I end up getting my son to do it. My email is swilley.tx@gmail.com
Hi Swilley, it is nice to meet you.
BTW, I would not put my email address in a post, You can do a friend request of Elizabeth with your email in it. Everyone can see the posts here, even if they are not a member of QCA, thus giving access to your email to anyone on the internet.
Life is like a quilt...bits & pieces, joy & sorrow, stitched with love
WOULD ALSO LOVE IT. HOW DO YOU FRIEND SOMEONE ON THIS SITE? AFTER OVER 2 YEARS ON THIS SITE YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE HANG OF IT BY NOW....
I finally posted the link in my blog under charts, click on my name, my blog and charts and the link is on the bottom. So pround of myself for figureing out how to do this
Sherry, to friend someone you click on their name where it shows up as a link and it will take you to their page, then just click on send a friend request and when they friend you back you can then PM them.
Yep, what Spud said
Belfrybat:Kris has it right, BUT deduct seam allowances since they are always 1/4", then add them back on after you get your new measurements.
I never do that. It works out with the cutting measurements.
I tried this and it didn't work. I was unable to open the link on her page. Did send a friend request, but still didn't hear anything. That may not have worked either. Thanks for the help though.

Sherry, Sorry, I just looked through my friends list and do not see your name. If you friend me and send your email I will send you the chart. To friend click on my name - that will take you to my page, then click of friend request. Be sure to send email in a private message so the whole world does not see it.
tried it again. it says on your page that it is pending. i cancelled and resent. we will see....
I really like Kris's math though I will probably never use it. I draw everything on graph paper. But, in case, I have that stashed in my meandering brain. Thanks

Sherry, it will say pending until they friend you back.

I like graph paper too Joe. Works great.
