  1. This is a beautiful quilt but not wide enough for my queen size bed. How can the pattern be changed to accomplish this?

    1. Peggy,
      I heard back from our team. While we’d love to, we aren’t able to provide instructions for other sizes for all our patterns. If you’d like to size it differently, we do have a few suggestions:
      1. You can take the pattern to a local quilt shop—they’d be thrilled to sell more fabric for a larger quilt, and likely have the expertise to figure it out.
      2. You may also be able to take the pattern to a guild meeting for help, especially since guild members tend to be more advanced quilters, and could probably make short work of it.
      3. I also found this fantastic article that includes a lot of great tips on resizing https://www.quiltingcompany.com/tip-tuesday-want-king-size-quilts-resize-your-quilt-patterns-fons-porter/.

      Good luck!

      Best,
