Sorry I said swap this is not a swap. I thinking about making these block with you all.

Making the Barrister's Block...
What size are the little HSTs and the larger ones?
I have found that 1/4" makes a difference.
Directions could be more detailed. TY

The larger ones are cut at 4.5 to finish at 4 inches in the block. The smaller ones are cut at 1.5 to finish at 1 inch in the finished block (after the block is sewn to another block).

What happened to the February Quilting Bee link? It was there yesterday but I can no longer find it today, was it removed?

Dottie..I agree the directions were not as clear as they could have been (I also am puzzled why I can't find the string on the February blocks...this is the January string). The little HSTs are squared to 1 3/4" (see size of the background squares for the corners) and finish at 1 1/4". The large HSTs are squared at 4 1/4" and finish at 3 3/4" (you will see one side is equal to three of the little HSTs..1 1/4" x 3 = 3 3/4"). Finished sizes 3 3/4" plus 1 1/4" = finished 5", or half of a 10" finished block (of course, since there are 1/4" unfinished edges on the outside of the block, it ends up 10 1/2" unfinished).

I can't find the February thread either. Have notified our leader!

The February thread is gone from my "Subscribed Threads" too.

I luckily downloaded the files for the february blocks...
Here they are for anyone wanting to 'get on' with their blocks, until we get our Feb thread back...
Hugs all, Jacquie xxx
