By

She's Walking Back to Me, Oh, Pretty woman... Can you hear the song in your head?  Well this week we are making another set of Oh, Pretty Woman blocks, but we are changing it up a bit.  We are using fabric from Block #11, plus a 2nd Medium Dark left over from a prior blocks.  I used my leftover from Clue #19, which was actually a remnant from Clue #12... 

Don't you just love her!

Clue #20~ Oh, Pretty Woman ~ Peacock Galore and A Blooming Bunch

Then for Group #8, we are actually using our Blocks from Clue #4, I Want to Hold Your Hand and #7 Can't Help Falling In Love.  Oh, Pretty Woman, C#20 is just going to have to wait. 

Group #8 ~ Peacock Galore

Group #8 ~ A Blooming Bunch

Before we jump into Tips for this Clue.  I wanted to provide you with a link to my Fabric Reveal last week for Holiday Sensation, my next Mystery Series starting in July.

Reminders and Tips for this week:
4 Different units - All of which you made before, so just take your time in cutting.

Remember the A Units get split, they are not all cut the same.

Keep them organized.

We are making two Diamond shaped units

Take you time to ensure you have the right units in the right place.

Trim the A Unit on the Unit A/D Diamond Shape.

Trim one of the B Unit on the dual B Unit Diamond Shape.

Make sure you have everything facing properly on the top.  You can use those seam interchanges to precision pin.

For the Bottom, You are going to need to mark your trimmed B Unit.

And your C Units 

Layout carefully, precision pin, stitch and press.

You can use the 1/4" markings to precision pin the top together to the bottom.

Lines up really nice!
TADA!


LOVE IT

Next, let's talk Group #8  


Group 8A - Make sure to check your Can't Help Falling In Love, it has a top and bottom


Construct them the same way, you will need to mark a few seams to help with precision pinning. 

They turn out great.  One of my favorite groupings.

Group 8 Peacock Galore

Group 8 A Blooming Bunch

LOVE THEM!  Just 4 more Clues to go!

That's it for me.  I got my second vaccine today and it is kicking my butt.  Have a great weekend. 

Keep Stitching,
Michelle

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 s...
