How to Die Cut Blazing Star Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. For one complete 5-color block, cut four layers of background fabric and two layers each, right sides facing, of the light/dark outer star points and light/dark inner star points at a time.Â
- Shape A – Block Background: Cut an 8 5/8″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3 1/2″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 22 Shape A’s across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 88 Shape A’s.Â
- Shape B – Outer Star Points: Cut a 7 7/8″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3 1/2″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 22 Shape B’s across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 88 Shape B’s.Â
- Shape C – Inner Star Points: Cut a 10″ strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3 1/2″ widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 22 Shape C’s across the width of fabric. One yard of 40″ wide fabric cuts 66 Shape C’s.Â

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