Electric Quilt 8To customize the layout palettes, click on the Worktable Options button 
on the main toolbar while on the Quilt Worktable. The Quilt Worktable Options dialog appears and you will now see Layout Options. Use Layout Options to make any adjustments or to increase any of the limits in the layout palettes. Many of the entries in this dialog affect the sensitivity of the slider bars on the palettes. In other words, if the maximum size is large, it will take very small movements on the slider to adjust the size.
All Styles
Block Options
Maximum size of blocks: This setting adjusts the maximum size for a block in any of the traditional quilt layouts. EQ8’s suggested value is 48, but the allowable range is 24-100.

Check Maintain existing block sizes when resizing layout if you do not want the content of layers resized when resizing your quilt.
