Resizing Quilt Patterns


Welcome to day 6 of the Pixelating Blog Hop!

My new book, Designing Block Quilts can be used for many different things.  You know you can use it to design and create your own patterns, but did you know you can use it to resize existing patterns?

Chapter 1 is all about the Math of designing your own patterns.  But the formulas can also be used for resizing patterns.  I took my Japanese Wood Spirit and Magical Girl patterns and shrunk them down.  The results are rather cute wall hangings!































They turned out so well, I may have to make smaller versions of other patterns and hang them on my walls.

So make that pattern bigger or smaller!  It is up to you!

Make sure you read each of the hoppers blogs.  They are making some pretty cool things.
