Cutting

Prepare Z and Zr templates using patterns provided. Zr is reverse (mirror-image) of Z.

Here’s a Tip

Easy fabric cutting: If you have an AccuQuilt Fabric Cutting System, you can use the GO! Triangle in Square-Sides-4" Finished Square die (#55754) to cut the C, Cr, F, Fr, S and Sr triangles instead of using the pattern given. For that matter, you can use other dies to cut some of the other shapes (triangles, squares and strips) as well! Just make sure you use the correctly sized dies.
