Halloween Block Swap



Back in July I joined a swap, had to make 24 Halloween Themed Blocks. 12 9 patch-same 2 materials 12 themed-mine was witches and each unfinished block was to be 12 1/2 in. My goodness people did a super job, I absolutely Love the ones I got back. Now comes the hard part-- how to put them together, make 1 large quilt, take 3 blocks and sash in between and make a wall hanging, make a table runner ? Any suggestions? The swap host was Jane Remus of JanesFabrics.blogspot.com. She did an excellent job, Thank You Jane

  1. You could also choose several for a wall-hanging and keep some to make a Halloween "throw"-sized quilt. The blocks look really great! I'm glad you had such fun with this swap.

  2. Oh, what fun! I'm going to get involved in more swaps after I finish up with mine. It's such fun, and gets me to finish things. Duh. I work much better with a deadline, especially at the 11th hour.

  3. Love those witchy legs! Can't say what I'd do with them all, but first I would surely just play around with trying them out in different ways. Have fun!

  4. Barbara beat me to it, but I love the witch legs.

    I would just have to throw the blocks around until I "found" what I wanted.

  5. Wow, Kaye, you got some really cool blocks in your Halloween exchange. My favorites were the ghost with the moon and the pumpkins with the moon. The witchy feet were pretty cute, too, and my grandson would like the black cat. I like the idea of splitting up the blocks and making a tablerunner or a wallhanging and maybe a pillow or two for the grandkiddies. :-)
