Tools That Simplify Making Complex Quilts 

The process consists of making Divided Quilt Blocks or Quilt Block Components from predefined “Master Blocks”.  

Only square and rectangular pieces of fabric are used to create each. Once stitched, “Master Blocks” are separated into components by cutting along pre-defined cutting guides.

Short Cut Quilt Blocks reduce the time and effort required for making quilts to a small fraction of the time required using traditional quilt making methods.

This incredible time and effort saving process speeds things up by eliminating the need to ever cut, stitch or trim triangles.

“Master Blocks” contain either two or four internal sections, which, after division can be used either as a quilt block or a component (quilt block section).

Each separated block contains the seam allowance required to join blocks/block sections and is filled with triangles that occur as a natural by-product when the “Master Block is divided.

Making the “Master Blocks is fast, precise and exceptionally easy.

All Master Blocks are built in rounds. A round is defined as a square piece of fabric is surrounded by 4 rectangles. 

Additional round(s) can be added to the assembly to produce even more triangles when the Master Block is divided.  

Once you make your first “Master Block” you will know how to make all versions of “Master Blocks”.

Fabric cutting and construction processes use only square and rectangular pieces of fabric. This makes cutting fabrics for the Short Cut Quilt Block process infinitely quicker than that which is required when making quilts using traditional methods.

Strip cutters are great for this purpose and never required. 

All “Master Blocks” use the same instructions and differ only by the number of rounds and the built in cutting configuration that will be used once the blocks are finished. 

After you have made your first “Master Block” you will always know what you are doing. 

All construction steps can be seen in the Video Playlist that is linked to this page at the end of the article. You will find the button link just after image below.

You don’t need complex software to create Short Cut Quilt Blocks. The precision and math required for each “Master Block” is already built into the process, so you won’t have to invest any extra time or money into learning complex software.

Moreover, when you divide “Master Blocks,” you’ll always be cutting within the area that defines the seam allowance for the adjoining components. This protects the points of every triangle to ensure they stay crisp and true, without getting cut off or clipped.
