- 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.

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.
