🖨 PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS
The pattern is designed for standard US Letter printing.
Print at 100% (actual size) to obtain the intended finished quilt dimensions.
If using A4 paper instead of US Letter, the final output will be approximately 97.7% of the intended dimensions. No manual scaling to 97.7% is required.
Larger formats involve more printed pages and may require additional taping and preparation space.
📐 RESIZING
30×30": Further reduction is not recommended. The smallest version already contains compact geometric pieces that may become difficult to sew accurately.
50×50" and 70×70": These sizes can be reduced.
Calculate your printing percentage using:
(Desired size ÷ Pattern size) × 100 = Print percentage
Example: To create a 40×40" quilt from the 50×50" pattern:
(40 ÷ 50) × 100 = 80%
Print at 80%.
All pieces and seam allowances shrink proportionally. The finished dimensions are determined by the sewing lines, preserving the design's proportions.
Significant reductions can make smaller pieces more challenging. Choosing the closest available size is recommended.
Enlargement beyond 100% is not recommended.
🎯 SKILL LEVEL
