You are doing a great job with the 'ugly' box! They look marvelous! And your Barristers blocks are beautiful. It's a challenging one. I agree with not wanted to do a whole quilt with them! LOL! I do think, though, that I might change my mind for a whole quilt if the block was resized to be bigger!
Looking forward to March!

Bonnie Hunter says if the fabric is still ugly you haven't cut it small enough yet. lol
Now that is a thought, it might be more do able if it were a bigger block. I spent more time spinning those tiny blocks, sewing them, taking the ripper to them because I spun them in the wrong direction and then over again.....a lot. If you could see the fabrics in that ugly box, I would say I am getting lucky so far, but it is fun, and some don't look half as bad once you cut them up. Thanks.

I love the batiks, Happylab, turned out really pretty. The Barrister's block has directions to make a 12" block, too. All the blocks have turned out so pretty, and just think you've stretched & conquered different blocks. Great job everyone. March's will soon be announced.

Okay I've spent the last half of this day fixing a block that I miscut...thinking it was February's block...only to discover it's the 2nd of January...So I'll try to get out February's cut before I have to start supper...and hopefully get it made tomorrow!

Barb, your blocks are wonderful!! Yes, this acknowledgement to 'squaring up' is quite true... 'Squaring up' blocks is 'sew' important in the process of block making!!
Fabulous blocks, they will make a gorgeous quilt! I love your fabrics/colours! Lovely!

Here are all my blocks for Jan & Feb. I have verified again that I have to square up all those little HST's no matter how close I think they are! This would have saved me ripping every seam when I sewed them together. Oh well, Jack and I are becoming closer every time I sew.
