I am working on the quilt blocks of the states from the BellaOnline website. How do I convert the Minnesota 10" block to a 12" block?

Hi Cindy, I've been searching through my "stuff" and finally came up with the formula for enlarging or reducing blocks on the photocopier. Here it is!!

Formula for Enlarging & Reducing


To enlarge: Say you want a 12" block and the current size block you have is 6". You would divide 12 by 6. That would equal: 2. Then you multiply 2 by 100 and you get 200. So your answer would look like this:
12 /6 =2 x100 = 200%
To reduce: If you have a 12" block and your wanting a 3" one you would divide 3 by 12 and you would get .25. Now multiply .25 x 100 and here's your calculated answer: 3/12=.25x100 = 25%

I hope this helps you out. Do let me know if that's what you wanted.
