But I wanted to play with it a bit and see what happens when some of the stars start to fall out of formation.
My downsized version measures about 27'' x 40''
My method for downsizing any block is simple - look at the finished block size in the pattern and divide it in half and then add 1/2'' to each dimension to get your unfinished size.
For example, a square that finished at 4'' is downsized to 2'' for which I would cut a 2 1/2'' square. Or a flying geese which finishes at 3''x 6''is downsized to be 1 1/2 '' x 3'' finished or 2'' x 3 1/2'' unfinished. When units get really small, I draw them up in EQ7 and paper piece!
I'll be linking up here.
Have a wonderful day! Patty
So cool. I love this as well as the original design.
ReplyDeleteLooks good--love the colors. Just really getting into designing with my EQ8 (I've had it a year and used it just some here and there) so beginning to pay more attention to what specific blocks (like the chain in yours) can do. The whole thing can be overwhelming to me but I gotta start somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI love your version. The colours and the out of formation part!
ReplyDeleteI love this little beauty. Thanks for sharing how you downsize.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how you quilt it. I love the colors you chose and your interpretation of the pattern.
