Bee Gees Star is Clue #8

 Love the Bee Gees!  One of my favorite Eufloria fabric combo!

Bee Gees Star - Moda's Eufloria

Bee Gees Star - Moda's Nutmeg

In 1997, the brothers Gibb were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an iconic group that produced a decades-spanning catalog of timeless music. From the smash hit soundtrack for the film “Saturday Night Fever” to other classics like “Massachusetts,” “To Love Somebody,” and “Too Much Heaven,” The Bee Gees produced hit after hit for almost five decades.

When inducted, their introduction stated, “We dare you to listen to the high-flying harmonies of the Bee Gees without singing along.  Few bands can say they stuck together for more than forty years, let alone that in that time they sold more than 200 million records. These brothers had an almost supernatural instinct for creating chart-toppers, and their talent in songwriting, production and performance skills lent them an artistic control that established them as Seventies icons.” 

The Bee Gees rank third amongst groups for the most Hot 100 number one hits in history.  The trio racked up (9) Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles, more than any other group in history with the exception of the Beatles (with 20) and the Supremes (12). Of their chart-topping hits, their biggest is “How Deep Is Your Love” which reigned for three weeks in 1977 and spent 33 weeks on the chart, which was the group’s longest-running single.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be “How Deep Is Your Love”.    I could not even begin to pick a favorite.  However, while designing this block, my inspiration came from these three amazing men, three brothers, and I placed the Square³ around the Ohio Star to symbolize the three brothers.

Unit A: Half Square Triangles

Unit B: Quarter Square Triangles
Unit C: Corner Beams
Unit D: Square3 - New to the series technique.

We will actually will not cut down the center until after it has the first round of side triangles on.... take your time and line up properly. 

So tada!
Similar to prior Clues, you will put your Corner together first and then Column.
Then the Blocks! 

How deep is your Love!


I can't wait to see your Blocks on our Facebook Group!
