Topic: Reducing the size of the pattern (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Enjoy "Color My World" by Wendy Williams - This beautiful quilt is constructed of soft and textural shot cottons from Windham fabrics on a richly patterned background. It offers so many opportunities for personalization through both embellishment and quilting- you could add house numbers, decorations, people, pets, garden flowers- there are so many ways to make this quilt truly your own!

Let's use this Topic "Color My World Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful work. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.

The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.

AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

Because the pattern includes the seam allowances, reducing will also reduce the quarter inch seam allowances.
To avoid this, print the pattern. Cut the seam allowances off.
Cut the pattern out and add new quarter inch seam allowance.
Extra work, but if you want the correct allowance, this will do it.

Rhopler, That would work, I saved a little time by just laying the 1/4" line of the ruler on the sew line and tracing a new seam allowance line in a different color ink that was a full size 1/4". HelenW
