Farmer's Wife - Week 5

For Week 5 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt Along, we'll be creating three blocks.  Not to fear!  We have one simple pieced block, one simple paper pieced block, and one more challenging block.  They are

• Block 17, Cats & Mice
• Block 81, Snowball

After four weeks of success, I think we can handle an extra block.
