Help enlarging a quilt pattern
I have a twin quilt pattern that I would like to enlarge to a king. The name of the quilt is Grandpa's Heart Quilt. Made like a log cabin quilt.
The center will not change 49 inches by 49 inches. It is the rest of the quilt that I need to enlarge. The finished quilt is 84" by 103" without borders. I will need to know how much fabric is need for the enlargement also. Any help would be appreciated, including web sites.

Also, what size finishd size do u want.?
Maybe give us the size of the top of the mattress for starters. Kng size mattresses are not all the same size. I made a quilt for DIL king size that was 78 x 80 - then the got a waterbed king size that is 72 inches wide x 76 inches long

Don't know if this helps...but if this is a log cabin block based quilt.... example...if all the log cabin squares are the same size - and it takes 1/2 yard of 10 different fabrics to make 20 log cabin blocks - it would take 3/4 yard each to make 30 - and a full yard of each to make 40. How much fabric is required for the original squares?? Then how many additional squares do you need to make the size you want?
