[@marytruax8907]

How possible would it be to make this quilt to fit on a California King bed?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

You can certainly get the pattern & just add blocks accordingly: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p133923 I believe each "halo" measures approximately 18-19" square. Hope this helps! -Michelle

[@danitadane]

Do you starch the fabric before cutting? And, is there ample fabric in case there is a mistake?

[@ShabbyFabrics]

Hi danitadane - We did use a sizing spray on our fabrics prior to making our Sample, and there should be plenty of fabric in your kit to allow for the occasional mistake. Hope this helps! -Michelle

[@danitadane]

@@ShabbyFabrics thanks so much!
