GO! Churn Dash-9" Finished Die

How to Die Cut 3-Color Churn Dash Quilt Blocks:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. For 3-color block, cut two layers of background fabric and two layers of prints for rectangles and half square triangles. Cut one layer of fabric for the center square.

• Shape A (Center Square): Cut a 4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4" widths. Cut 10 squares across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 90 squares. 
• Shape B (Rectangles): Cut a 4 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4" widths. Cut 20 rectangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 160 rectangles. 
• Shape C (Half Square Triangles): Cut a 4 3/4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 4" widths. Cut 20 half square triangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 140 half square triangles.

Die Tips: 

• With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors. 
• Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle.  Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board. 
• Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch. 
• It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
