I want to make a small baby quilt using one big block (the added borders will make it bigger.) I think it looks okay, I'm just not sure....its for a baby boy....obviously.
I think it looks great! You are very brave - I have often wanted to make a block design very large but didn't really know how to go about it without hours of trial and error...what's your secret?
I just want to add a word to your pattern enlarging instructions. You may have thought of this, but it wasn't clear in your post, so . . . when you enlage a pattern that has a seam allowance already included in it's dimensions - you are enlarging the seam allowance also. If you just want a larger pattern, it may not matter, but if it is intended to fit with something else, it it best to remove the seam allowance before enlarging, then add it back to the finished pattern. I hope that makes sense.
Words to describe me: Mom(to Eric & Danny),wife(to Chuck),Auntie(to Grace, Jessica, Jack),big sister (to 5 sibs),crafty, scrapbooker, new quilter. Homebirth nurse/baby catcher,friend (I got a pocketful of friends!), early morning person,coffee drinker (all day!)happy,and much more to be added later...oh yea...I love books and wine and Jesus!
