    Default how difficult to resize this Labyrinth quilt?

    http://www.keepsakequilting.com/productdetail/6193.htm I really like the pattern but the smallest included size is 58"x58". I had planned to do a wall quilt and make it more like 36" square. Wondering if anyone who has it/has made it could tell me how difficult it would be to resize it and make it smaller (I don't have the pattern yet). It doesn't look like the center star/frame combination on the full size is all that big so I'm wondering if the lap quilt size enlarges it and if I could just use the measurements for the center part from one of the larger ones and come up with my own sizes for the borders. Here's a link to one that's similar in size to a lap-sized one.

    i couldn't find a pattern for it. but i had previously drawn this larger in EQ. i just switched the blocks to 4" finished and it now measures 40x40". with this coloring, you can easily see where the blocks are. i hope this helps

    Love your quilt. The colors are my favorite. Is the pattern hard to do?

    Very pretty. Those blues - even in a drawing - are lovely.

    i haven't made it yet. i draw a lot of quilts in my EQ ... they are my bucket list
    i can't imagine that it is difficult since it is all plain blocks and HSTs

    I have made this quilt in a queen size and it is like everyone has said it is made up of squares and half square triangles. It would be very easy to resize this to get the size you want.
    Tried to post a picture of my queensize quilt but my IPad and I are having an ongoing battle of who's in charge.
