How to Die Cut 2-Color Snowball Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. For 2-color block, cut one snowball center from first fabric color and four half square triangles from a contrasting fabric color.
- Snowball Center: Cut and fuse 7" squares. Cut five snowball centers across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 25 snowball centers.
- Half Square Triangles: Cut a 3 1/2" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 3" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 26 half square triangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 260 half square triangles.
