Follow along below to see how quick and easy it is to cut all the shapes you need for the GO! Storm at Sea. First collect the dies you need - GO! Triangle in Square - 3" Finished, GO! Half Square Triangle - 3" Finished, GO! Square - 3" Finished, and the GO! Half Square Triangle - 1 1/2" Finished.
We're cutting for a four color block. Starting with the GO! Half Square Triangle - 1 1/2" Finished die, cut 7" strips from each of the four colors you are working with.
Fan fold the strips across the die to cut up to six layers of fabric. Position your fabric on the die so that the selvedge edge of the fabric is in line with the label on the die and the cutter handle. This ensures that the lengthwise grain is traveling perpendicular to the roller.
Place the cutting mat over the die and roll through the cutter.
Slide the mat off to reveal your perfectly cut half square triangles.
Repeat the same steps for each of the colors.
After cutting with the same die, you may notice threads caught in the blades. Use your die pick to clean out the die.
Next use the GO! Square - 3" Finished die to cut squares with the aqua color. Fan fold a 7 1/2" strip across the die. Position your fabric on the die so that the selvedge edge of the fabric is in line with the label on the die and the cutter handle. This ensures that the lengthwise grain is traveling perpendicular to the roller.
Place the cutting mat over the die and roll through the cutter.
Ta-da! Perfect squares.
Next, on to the GO! Half Square Triangle - 3" Finished die. Cut 9" strips from each of your three accent colors - not the background fabric, in this example the lightest green. Fan fold the strips across the die. Layer up to six layers of fabric.
Place the cutting mat over the die and roll through the cutter.
Perfect half square triangles!
Repeat the same steps for each of the other two colors.
Next, moving on to the GO! Triangle in Square - 3" Finished die. Cut 6" strips of the dark green and dark blue fabric. Layer them together over the center triangle portion of the die to cut four layers, two of each color.
Cut a 5 1/2" strip of your background fabric and fan fold over the outside triangle pieces.
Place the cutting mat over the die and roll through the cutter.
You've just cut everything you need for the Triangle in Square units!
