This collection of 'Make It Simpler Cutting Lines' blocks, introduces a quick one-step way to cut your fabric pieces and cut down on fabric wastage. There is a block cutting chart provided which summarizes block measurement from start to finish. I am particularly interested in the Pineapple block which has always fascinated me and terrified me in equal measure! Using the disposable cutting pattern and 14 continuous cuts, it is possible to yield the 64 trapezoids and triangles for a pair of blocks so the only thing left to do is try it out! -- Fabrications, 10/2010 Just when you think everyone in Quiltdom is making Anita's Arrowhead blocks, you run into a group that somehow have missed all the fun. Anita has developed several blocks with unique cutting and sewing methods. All the blocks are fast and precise. The design possibilities are endless and appropriate to use with all types of fabrics. Come join the 'in' group and make a few Arrowhead blocks. -- Stevii Graves, Journal of the International Quilt Association, July 2010 International Quilt Association Journal, May 28, 2013
