    Default Math quiz Linoleum block

    I found a quilt block, but it's for tiny pieces. I thought it would be nice with a charm in the middle. I've collected too many. Would it be easy to enlarge?

    Great block but I don't do math unless I have to do math. I have an accounting degree you know!

    Cute block, but way too little of pieces for me. I found a blog that blew it up some, but not quite a charm in the middle - it is 4 1/2 inches in the middle instead - it makes a 12 inch finished block.

    Charm square in the middle, well, it would have to be like 4.5"
    then the top and side blocks are half charms sewn together
    the corner squares are snowballed charms.

    The math would just be the trimming due to size lost by seams, which I think each small square would be 4.5". The finished block would be 12" (12.5" unfinished)

    It's a nine-patch, so if your middle square is 5" then make the other 8, 5" also

    After reading Karen and Kathy's responses I went back to look at the block again. Duh! I must have been memorized by all the pretty colors.

    Thanks for finding this! I'm alway's looking for stuff and didn't even think to look anymore. I like how there is two blocks together so I can see what it looks like. Looks like a fussy cut pattern, cute for kids!

    Thanks Karen and Kathy!

    I just did this block today for the Farmer's Wife quilt-a-long! It finishes out at 6 1/2 inches, so I am no help.....plus a little late in this discussion! Just found it coincidental. By the way, the block went together easily and quickly. I love the idea of the charm square middles!
