How to Die Cut 2-Color Wonky Heart Quilt Blocks:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.Â
TIP:Â To create a 2-color Wonky Heart Block: Cut three layers of one fabric color and three layers of a contrasting fabric color at a time.Â
- Cut 9" x 8 3/4" rectangles. For a 2-color design, four cuts across the width of fabric yield enough pieces for eight complete blocks. One yard of 40" wide fabric in each color will yield 16 blocks.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
