🖨 PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
All templates are designed for standard US Letter paper.
Print at 100% (actual size) for the intended finished dimensions.
If printing on A4 instead of US Letter, the finished quilt will be reduced to approximately 97.7% of the intended dimensions. No manual scaling to 97.7% is required.
The larger versions require additional printed pages, paper assembly, and workspace. Organizing your sections before sewing is recommended.
📐 RESIZING
30×30": Additional reduction is not recommended. Some of the detailed geometric pieces are already small at this scale.
50×50" and 70×70": Both versions can be reduced using the following formula:
(Desired size ÷ Pattern size) × 100 = Print percentage
For example, reducing a 70×70" pattern to 56×56" requires printing at 80%.
Pieces and seam allowances decrease proportionally, while the finished dimensions remain determined by the sewing lines.
Avoid significant reductions that could make intricate areas harder to sew. Whenever possible, select the pattern size closest to your intended quilt.
Enlargement beyond 100% is not recommended.
🎯 SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate – Suitable for confident beginners with previous FPP experience and experienced quilters.
Lunar Raven contains 397 pieces organized into 21 clearly labeled sections.
The difficulty and preparation requirements depend on your selected size:
-
30×30": Compact pieces demand accuracy and careful fabric positioning, but the project requires less workspace and fewer printed pages.
-
50×50": More comfortable pieces and better visibility, with additional paper preparation and section organization.
-
70×70": Larger pieces simplify detailed sewing, while paper assembly, taping, and handling the completed sections require more preparation and space.
