ONE MORE THING…
Before we get into the instructions for today’s block…

Step 3: Sew the White and Dark Brown (B) squares together. Use the STOP method to add the Light Brown (B) squares to the Dark Brown (E) squares. Sew the (BB) units to the top of the (EB) units.
Step 4: Use the STOP method to add the Light Brown (F) rectangles on the ends of the White (D) rectangles. Use the STOP method to add the White (B) squares on the corners of the Light Brown (E) squares. Sew the Light Brown and Black (A) squares together. Sew the Light Brown (F) rectangles on top of the (AA) units.
Step 5: Sew the Light Brown and Black (**) rectangles on the sides of the Light Brown (B) square. Trim this unit to 0.75” wide to make the nostrils. Use the STOP method to add the White (A) squares on the corners of the Light Brown (H) rectangle. Sew the (**B**) unit on top.
