R E S P E C T is Block #21

By

Can you believe we are on Clue #21!  R-E-S-P-E-C-T!  Love this block and the song is great too.  Really interesting story on the song.  Make sure to check that out on the Clue.  The Block, I specifically designed to go with Oh, Pretty Woman from Clue #21.  You will be using your remnant fabric left over from Clue #10.

Clue #21 Respect
You will go on and put Respect (Clue #21) with Oh, Pretty Woman (Clue #20), for Group #9.

For this Clue, if you are running tight/short on Light-Med, make sure to read the tip on making use of your remnant strip from the Triangles. You would trim down , cutting down that large strip to get those last few Diamond(s). This will get you the most out of your fabric. You can also check your remnant bag.

Other Tips

Take your time with Unit A as you must make sure you have the proper Side Triangles in the proper place

Unit B is the easy...  who would have through we would have said that back on Clue #1

Unit C is a standard Diamond Triangle Unit

Before you trim down,  triple check you have your side triangles correct!

When you get organized, make sure you are labeling and cutting them correctly.  Pay close attention to Unit B, you are only trimming the left side.


We are making 9 of the same diamond shape.  Take your time.

I would suggest marking that 1/4" line on Unit B

Take you time with the trim down, as this isn't one we do often.

Here is the lay out for your Block top.

Which comes together easily.

Be careful with your layout for the bottom. Double check that orientation

It comes together easily as well. 

Top and Bottom.  I would recommend marking that 1/4 inch to make sure those intersections come together wlee 

Trim down is an easy line up this week.

Clue #21 - RESPECT!

Make sure to move onto Group #9 - Only 4 more groups left!

The 2nd pattern we test drove at the Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor's Retreat was Deb's Tucker's Northern Neighbors.  This is another pattern she plans on having out in a few months.  It was really neat. Plus, you don't need to go with the traditional Canadian Maple Leaves if you don't want to.... several of us Certified Instructors took it in several different directions.  Here are a few examples. This is Donna's - Just to die for!  Love the batiks!  She got really far - - she doesn't talk as much of the rest of us!  LOL Here is mine, with my Kaffe Stash: And then the groups, so you can compare and see how versatile the pattern is: This pattern will use the following Studio 180 Design's tools:  Split Rects, Corner Beam, Wing Clipper, Square2....  If you don't own then, this is a great weekend to purchase them at my etsy shop.  I'm offering 15% off if you spend $20 or more.  Use code: ENDMARCH  at my shop now throug

Woo Hoo!  A little productivity this weekend.  I was able to complete the piecing of my version of Atlantic Flyways for my February Class at Yankee Quilter ( www.yankeequilter.com ).  I'm hoping to get it quilted in the evenings this week (might be a challenge) and to drop off. I'm giving a Wing Clipper demo at Yankee Quilter this Saturday.  They have Flying Geese in their Block of the Month and have asked me to come demonstrate how to use the Wing Clipper.  I hope to have the Signs of Autumn Table Runner and Atlantic Flyway completed to show. Here is Deb Tucker's original: Fingers Crossed, it is back to work tomorrow!
