Star 1. Lay out one each: green print, medium blue print and light
blue/aqua 2½” x 20” strips as shown.
2. Pin and sew together, off-setting ends as shown, pressing
seams toward green print end of combined strip set.
Note: If your GO! Strip Cutter-2½” (2” Finished) (55017) is not marked with angled guidelines as shown, you will need to use a black Sharpie marker to add placement lines. Place a ruler on the die, aligning lines on ruler with blades to mark a 90° line at the left end of the blades and 2½” from the right end of blades as shown. Align the 45° line on the ruler with blades and mark. The other two angled lines are 30° and 60°. The 45° line will be used for this project. Be sure the ink is dry before placing fabric on the die. 3. Place the combined strip set on the die with the top edge of
the green print strip aligning with the 45° marked line, with
the extra combined strip set length extending over the edge
of the die. Run the die through the cutter. This will yield
three pieced angled strips.
4. Cut a fourth pieced angled strip from the extra combined
