So many of you ladies have done your blocks that I'm feeling like a little bit of a slacker! lol But in my defense, DH and I went to Florida for 10 days to get some sunshine. We came home on Wednesday, only to have a snowstorm on Thursday and another one today. Yikes! But I'm going on a quilt retreat this week, so will get my blocks done there, along with (I hope) some UFOs. I'm a little intimidated by the barrister's block, but like you said, Oksewnsew, we need to stretch our abilities.
