Formula for Enlarging & Reducing
Quilts
To enlarge: Say you want a 12" block and the current size block
you have is 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%
