AccuQuilt GO! Quarter Square Triangle 8" Finished Square - 55399

It's hip to be square. Squares are the building blocks of quilting and this die cleanly cuts perfect quarter squares even through multiple pieces of fabric. Every time! Four quarter square triangles sewn together form an 8" finished square with the straight grain on the outside edges of the square. Use to create 8", 12" or 16" designs. This large quarter square goes well with the GO! Square-8 1/2" (55058), GO! Half Square-8" Finished Triangle (55400), GO! Half Square-4" Finished Triangle (55031) and GO! Square-4 1/2" (55060 or 55018).

AQ Cutting Mat Required: GO! Cutting Mat, 6 in. x 24 in. 

How to Die Cut 8" Finished Quarter Square Triangles:

For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller. 

  • Cut a 21 3/4" strip across the width of fabric. Fanfold into 5 1/2" widths. Place on selected blade and cut. Cut 28 quarter square triangles across the width of fabric. One yard of 40" wide fabric cuts 28 quarter square triangles.

  • 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.
