📏 AVAILABLE SIZES

Choose your preferred size:

Each size is purchased separately. Your download will contain the size selected at checkout, not all four versions.

🖨 PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS

All patterns are formatted for US Letter paper (8.5×11").

Print at 100% / Actual Size to obtain the intended dimensions. Disable automatic settings such as “Fit to Page.”

If printed on A4 instead of US Letter, the final output will be reduced to approximately 97.7% of the intended dimensions. No manual scaling is required.

📐 NEED A CUSTOM QUILT SIZE?

The pattern can be reduced proportionally using:

(Desired width ÷ Pattern width) × 100 = Print percentage

For example, to reduce the 30×44" version to 27×39.6":

(27 ÷ 30) × 100 = 90%

Print all pattern pages at the same percentage.

Please note:

• Pattern pieces and seam allowances decrease proportionally.

• Significant reductions can make small pieces more difficult to sew.

• Resizing the smallest 16×23" version is not recommended.

• For a larger project, choose a larger pattern size rather than enlarging a smaller file above 100%.

   

   

🎯 SKILL LEVEL

Intermediate — suitable for confident FPP beginners with some previous experience.

All four versions contain the same 211 pieces and 28 sections, but the sewing experience varies with the scale:

• 16×23": Compact project requiring precision when sewing smaller pieces, particularly around the horse's facial features.

• 20×29": Slightly more comfortable piece sizes, with manageable page preparation and assembly.

• 30×44": Larger geometric shapes and improved visibility, with additional printing and taping.

• 60×88": The most spacious individual pieces, but considerably more printing, taping, and workspace required.
