Stop! In the Name of Love... Clue #8!
Clue # 8 is Stop! In the Name of Love. One of my top 5 favorite songs of my youth! Love this song and this block is a lot of fun. This block is a bit less challenging than the last few. We will still need to take our time, but we will only be making 3 units, two of them are 2-Patch Units. We will need to mark some of our seams, but overall this Block should come together pretty easily for you!

| Stop! In the Name of Love! Both of the versions together! |
I will just highlight a few reminders for this Clue!
Fabric Selection:
Organization and remnants:
 |
| My Peacock Galore and A Blooming Bunch fabric selection. |
 |
| Make sure you are keeping your strips and remnants marked and stored by size. We will be using them shortly. |
 |
| When possible, use your Background remnants. I was able to cut my Unit C's center triangles from my remnants. |
Cutting:
 |
| This clue is pretty straight forward for cutting, as we've cut all these units before. |
Take time to mark the side you are trimming.
 |
| Take your time when making your diamond shaped units. Taking the time to line up and trim makes a difference. Right Handed above and Left Handed below. |
