How to Die Cut 2-Colour Irish Chain Blocks:
For best cutting results, position the fabric along the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
Tip: This die is specially designed to cut one complete 2-colour 10″ finished block in a single pass through the cutter.
Fabric Colour 1:
- Cut one 4 3/8″ square. Place right side up over shape A to cut one shape.
- Cut four 4 7/8″ x 2 3/4″ rectangles. Place right side up over shape B to cut eight shapes.
Fabric Colour 2:
- Cut four 11 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ rectangles. Place right side up over shapes C & D to cut four of each shape.
Why Quilters Love the GO! Irish Chain Die:
The Irish Chain quilt block is renowned for its simplicity and versatility. It features a chain-like design created with contrasting squares that interlock across the quilt top, forming a striking lattice effect. This classic block is ideal for both beginner and experienced quilters, and suits both traditional and modern quilt styles.
- The Irish Chain is a Block on Board® (BOB®) die, meaning it’s specially designed to cut a 2-colour, 10″ block in one go.
- Includes 5 shapes that are often time-consuming to cut by hand.
- Features specialised dog-ears and ¼” seam allowances for easy alignment and piecing.
- Screen-printed letters on the die help with accurate piecing and organisation.
- Free downloadable patterns and step-by-step assembly instructions to get you started.
- Fat quarter-friendly.

Die Tips:
Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, a thread or two might remain where die blades meet – just snip them with scissors.
- Blades on some dies are angled – align your fabric with the shape, not the die board edge.
- Use high-quality fabric to minimise stretching.
- Always do a test cut of one shape before cutting multiples to check fabric orientation.

* To conserve fabric, cover the only shape you want to cut - not the entire board. For asymmetrical shapes, place fabric pattern side up if you want the shape to look exactly like the shape on the die. Place fabric side down if you want the shape to be a mirror image of the shape on the die.
Care and Maintenance:
Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It’s normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
Warranty:
AccuQuilt GO! dies and Studio dies are guaranteed for one year.
