How to Die Cut 3-Color Pine Burrs Blocks:

For best cutting 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 complete 3-color 10" finished block in one pass through the cutter.
  • Fabric Color 1: Cut two 6 1/4" x 8" rectangles. Fanfold and place (4 layers total) over shapes A to cut four half rectangle triangles (HRT) facing one direction and four HRTs facing opposite direction.
  • Fabric Color 2:
    • Cut two 3 7/8" squares. Place right side up over shapes B to cut four shapes.
    • Cut two 4 3/8" x 5 3/8" rectangles. Place right side up over shapes C to cut 12 shapes.
  • Fabric Color 3: Cut four 4 3/8" x 5 3/8" rectangles. Place right side up over shapes C to cut 24 shapes.
Why Quilters Love the GO! Pine Burr Die:

  • Pine Burr is a Block on Board® (BOB®) die which means it’s specially designed to cut a 3-color, 10" block in one pass through the cutter.

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.
