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:
My Peacock Galore and A Blooming Bunch fabric selection.
Organization and remnants:

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.

Block Construction
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.

Double check your orientation...

Top of the Block:
Make sure you look at your unit to make sure it is laid out correctly

You should mark your 2-Patch units to ensure they line up with your unit C.

Take time to do the precision pinning.

Lay out and double check

Mark the 1/4" seam

Precision pin and sew.

Bottom of the Block:
Lay out and double check

You will need to mark the 2-Patch unit.

Precision pin and sew a good 1/4 inch seam.

Layout and double check.

Next we will sew the top to the bottom 

You will need to mark two of the seams on the top.

Trim-down!
Right Handed = Take the time to line up all the points listed in the Instructions.

Right Handed - Cut the remaining side.

Left Handed -  = Take the time to line up all the points listed in the Instructions.
