Rotary Cutter for July Quilt Block Mania

Can you tell that the new Quilt Block Mania theme is quilting? And the tool that has made the biggest impact on the quilting world? The Rotary Cutter!

According to Olfa, a major manufacturer of rotary cutters and additional tools, the rotary cutter was invented in 1979 by Yoshio Okada. It completely revolutionized the quilting industry, forever changing how quilters cut fabric. Not only was it a time saver, but it also created more accurate cuts over the use of hand scissors. The quilting world would never be the same!

Of course, numerous other inventions came along to augment the rotary cutter - specialty mats, rulers, and specialty cutters. Those items, along with myriad others, have created a wonderful world just for quilters. So let's take a look at the other quilting themed blocks created by my fellow Quilt Block Mania designers.

All of our blocks finish at 12" x 12", which will make for a fantastic quilt themed quilt. My Rotary Cutter just needs scraps or fat quarters, some fusible web, and the ability to applique - pretty simple. 

The pattern includes a full size template to print out, spread over four sheets of paper. Just tape them together, using the reverse of the pattern for tracing and the print side for placement. Easy-peasy!

Sorry, but the Rotary Cutter block is currently unavailable - I'll let you know when pops up again!
