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.

Star Blocks

1. Pin and sew four star center fabric 6" finished quarter square triangles (QSTs) (Shape 4) together as shown to create an hourglass unit. Make six combined hourglass units.

2. Choose one star fabric 6" finished QST (Shape 4), a coordinating star ring fabric 6" finished QST (Shape 4) and one green background 6" finished QST (Shape 4) together as shown to create an hourglass unit. Make four hourglass units.

Vertical Sashing Units

1. Sew two center chain fabric quarter square triangles (QSTs) (Shape 4) together to make a corner unit. Next, sew two center chain square on points (Shape 6) together and then add a center chain fabric QST (Shape 4) to each end of the two squares on point. Continue using the center chain fabrics, sew a vertical sashing unit as shown. First sew into rows and then sew rows together. Make three vertical sashing units as shown.

Horizontal Sashing Units

1. Referring to the diagram, sew one horizontal chain fabric and green background QSTs (Shape 4) together to make a corner unit. Next, sew one green background QST (Shape 4) to each side of one horizontal chain fabric square on point (Shape 6) to create horizontal sashing units. Continue using the horizontal chain fabrics, sew a horizontal sashing unit as shown. Notice that you will use a few of the vertical sashing piece in this unit. Make two horizontal sashing units as shown.


Top and Bottom Borders

1. Following diagram, continue using horizontal sashing units with a few of the vertical sashing units to create top and bottom borders.

Side Borders

1. Referring to diagram, sew edge chain pieces together. Make two of these, one with one set of edge chain pieces and another with the other set.

Assemble the Quilt Top

1. Sew a vertical sashing unit between two star blocks. Make a total of three of these.

2. Sew horizontal sashing between star rows.

3. Sew the top and bottom sashing to the top and bottom of the quilt.

4. Finally, sew the side borders on.



1. Layer batting between quilt top and backing.

GO! Qube 6" Cutting Directions:Fabric Color Shape & # Number of Shapes to Cut

Batik Color 1Batik Color 2Background Fabric for Star Blocks

Cut 32 Star Blocks as follows:Cut 5¼" x 3 7/8" rectangles or 5¼" x WOF strip from each fabric. For each individual Star Block, layer rectangles or WOF strips over blades of die as follows:Color 1 and Background Fabric with right sides together (RST).Color 2 and Background Fabric with RST. This will make enough half square triangles (HSTs) for one Star Block.

Background Fabric for Star Blocks

Cut 8—5¼" x 3 7/8" rectangles or 5¼" x WOF strips. Layer rectangles or WOF strips over blades of die and cut to make a total of 32 HSTs for all Star Blocks.


Batik Color 1Batik Color 2 for Star Blocks

Pre-cut 6¼" x 2½" rectangles or 6¼" x WOF strip from each fabric. For each individual Star Block, layer rectangles or WOF strips over blades of die as follows:Color 1 right side facing up, Color 2 right side facing up. Center rectangles over blades of die and cut. This will cut enough Chisels for one Star Block. Continue to cut enough Chisels for 32 Star Blocks.

Neutral Color Batik for Connector Blocks

Cut 4—4" x WOF strips. Fanfold into 4½" widths and cut 62 rectangles.

Background Fabric for Connector Blocks

Cut 4—4" x WOF strips. Fanfold into 4½" widths and cut 186 rectangles.

Additional Cutting Directions:Blue Borders—Use GO! Strip Cutter-2" (1½" Finished) (55025) to cut 12—2" xWOF strips for inner and outer blue bordersBackground Fabric Border—Use GO! Strip Cutter-2½" (2" Finished) (55017 or 55014) to cut 6—2½" x WOF strips for middle background border

Sewing Directions:Press all seams open and use ¼” seams, unless otherwise indicated.

Star Surprise Block (Make 32 Blocks)

1. Sew one Color 1 Batik half square triangle (HST) (Shape 5) and one background fabric HST (Shape 5) together. Press seams toward the batik fabric. Make a total of four HST units as shown. Sew one Color 2 HST (Shape 5) and one background fabric HST (Shape 5) together. Press seams toward the batik fabric. Make a total of four HST units as shown.


2. Sew one background fabric HST (Shape 5) onto a Color 1 Batik chisel (Shape 9). Press seam toward the chisel fabric. Make a total of two Color 1 Batik chisel units as shown. Sew one background fabric HST (Shape 5) onto a Color 2 Batik chisel (Shape 9). Press seam toward the chisel fabric. Make a total of two Color 2 Batik chisel units as shown.

3. Arrange the completed and pressed shapes as shown. Stitch the HST units together into a rectangle by placing them with right sides together, nest the pressed seams together and stitch the shapes together as shown. Press the seam toward the dark triangle.

4. Sew one rectangle unit to a chisel unit as shown. Press the seams toward the chiselshape. Make a total of four quarters units for the block.

5. Arrange the quarter blocks as shown in the diagram. Pin two of the quarter blocks together by first match the “V” of the star and then matching the corners. Stitch, removing the pin as you approach the “V”. Trim the threads and press the seam toward the chisel shape. Make two half blocks.

Blue Border

1. Cut fabric for blue borders using the GO! Strip Cutter-2" (1½" Finished) (55025). Cut 12—2" strips. Strips may be pieced either end to end or using a diagonal seam to make a continuous strip.

2. Measure vertically along both sides and vertically through the middle of the quilt top. The measurement should be 54½". If it is not, take all three measurements, average them and cut the 2" strip the length of the average measurement.

3. Pin and stitch the vertical borders to the right and left sides of the quilt top, easing as necessary. Press seams toward the border.
