paths & stiles

Jan -- this one isn't to bad to enlarge at all.

as a 9" block -- each section is 3" finished.

for a 12" block -- they need to be 4" finished. -- so you take the

The HST blocks are easy to enlarge.

So your half square triangle blocks (your block corners -- need to measure

Your rail-fence-like blocks also need to be 4" finished -- so each section (finished) would need to be 1 1/3 inch finished -- which is a "strange measurement. If it were me... I'd probably tweak the block a little and do the center stripe at 1 1/2" (finished) and the sides at 1 1/4" (finished). Thus you would cut your "white - based on Quilter's Cache pictures) at 1

The center square would be finished 4" -- so cut at 4 1/2"

If you really wanted the rail-fence-like blocks to look like pretty equal stripes -- then cut each strip at 1 7/8" -- then trim lightly on the sides after you have sewn the block together. You would need to trim like 1/16 from each side -- so wouldn't be very noticeable at all.

Hope this all makes sense. -- and if my math is wrong -- please someone jump in and correct me!

Oooohh, that's pretty! The print looks like one of my all-time favorites. I bought about a dozen yards of it in different color-ways at some point in the past. I'll have to pull some of it out and try this block. It looks great!
