How to Die Cut 2-Color Morning star Quilt Blocks:
For best results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain
(straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. Tip: The die is
specially designed to cut one 2-color, 12" block in one pass through the
cutter.
- Fabric Color 1: Cut three 12" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place over A shapes. Cut two 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" squares and place over B shapes.
- Fabric Color 2: Cut three 12" x 4 1/4" rectangles and place over A shapes.
Note: You will have two extra isosceles triangle shapes for each color. Set aside for future blocks.
