Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for producing a quilt block on a single die. According to a preferred embodiment, the die cut assembly of the present invention preferably includes a cutting rule formed into a pattern including a group of geometric cutting elements. According to a further preferred embodiment, the group of geometric cutting elements preferably includes a first set of cutting element including a first pentagon shape, a second pentagon shape, and a first quadrilateral shape which are connected by shared edges. According to a further preferred embodiment, the group of geometric cutting elements of the present invention preferably further includes a second set of cutting elements which includes a third pentagon shape, a fourth pentagon shape and a second quadrilateral shape, which are a mirrored copy of the first set of cutting elements.

Abstract: A roller die cutting machine includes a base having a drive roller assembly generally centered thereon between opposing side edges. A first table is located between the drive roller assembly and the first side edge to support a die assembly, and a second table is supported on the base opposite the first table to support a die assembly. A crank is connected through a set of gears to the pressure roller to rotate the pressure roller and to draw a die assembly through the drive roller assembly, to thereby cut stock positioned on the die assembly. A cover on the drive roller assembly includes a pair of inwardly projecting lips which will contact the pressure roller and produce an audible sound as a consumer's hand approaches the cutting location of the pressure roller.
