| Clue #7 Can't Help Falling In Love |
Can't Help Falling in Love, a favorite song of my mothers. I can't help but smile when I hear this song. My sisters and I use to sing it often. Brings back such great memories.
Let's talk Fabric selection:
 |
| These are my fabric selections of this week's clue. For Peacock Galore, I selected the lighter of that one print, the one that is more yellow along with the purple that has all the different color splashes in it. For A Blooming Bunch, I selected that multi-colored medium scale Light Blue print and then the Orange with the Daisy for my Medium. |
Tips - Cutting
 |
| Make sure you are using the proper size strips. |
 |
| Make sure you are labeling your remnants |
 |
| Make sure to double/triple check that you have the right components with each other. |
 |
 |
| We've made all of these units before, so just be careful to use your labels. There are a lot of units and there are different sides being cut. So, use the labels. |
 |
| Make sure you are labeling the correct side of the D units. You must be really careful with these. |
Highlight - Trim down tip for this week is the Unit Ds. Be very careful

 |
| Be very careful with the lay out of the Top Block. Make sure to place the D units in the proper place and in the correct orientation. |
 |
| Make sure you place the sewn unit down and double check that orientation. Trim only the dog ear in the way of the next seam. |
 |
| When you flip over the D Unit, make sure you are lining it up with the remaining dog ear. |
Constructing the Bottom of the Block
 |
| Double check your orientation. |
 |
| Once again, you are going to want to mark the quarter inch of these seams. To match them together properly. |
 |
| Trim only the dog ear in the way of the next seam. |
 |
| Mark your quarter ince. |
 |
| Remember to do a double check of your Top and Bottom units before sewing them together. |
 |
| Your diamond points will match but you will need to mark the 1/4" of the other seam interchanges. |
 |
| Precision pin and sew with your best quarter inch seam. |
