They are all moda, rjr and the one patch with the witches is from the swapper in the UK. Makower UK?? I don't know how to spell it. LOL.. It is really nice fabric. Highly detailed and cute.

Oh those witches are just darling. Love them.

IrelandDragonQuilting 06-24-2013 06:00 PM

OOoooOOOO LOVE Halloween! Is this the same swap as last year? Or a new hostess?? Everyone's blocks are beautiful and making me double check my schedule to see what kind of time I have.

Muse&Sew 06-24-2013 06:59 PM

Hi IrelandDragonQ, Yes, this is the same kind of swap as last year! My daughter's big birthday is Halloween, so it's a big deal at our house. I thought I'd try my hand at being a hostess, something new for me! Hope to have lots of fun with everyone! :):):)

Here a few samples. The Cat is 9 1/2 square, the Tree is 9 1/2 by 6 1/2 and the interlocked squares block is 6 1/2 square. If these are ok, then I will make sets of these. I also have more in mind. I may do 6 different sets.

Muse&Sew 06-25-2013 02:45 PM

javin I love your spooky tree, & black cat the best! The interlocked squares would make a fun filler block.
I'd say go for it.

Here's my 2nd 3 1/2 [ATTACH=CONFIG]421114[/ATTACH]small set of a cute paper-pieced cat.

RedGarnet222 06-25-2013 04:22 PM

Oh my goodness! Everyone is doing such a nice job on their blocks! I say go for that set you have started too javin. They are really nice. Muse and sew, that is one great house and kitty too. THat cat is really only 3 1/2 " square? WOW!

I have finished the spiders today. Well ... except for the borders. Thank goodness! I won't do that for a swap again, that is for sure! I am cutting out a set of eye of newt bottles now. LOL.... Do you think the bottle should be green or blue?

Muse&Sew , thanks, I will make those first 3 then. I see you did a cute spooky house, it is great. I just did one up also. Your tiny kitty is so detailed. Wow!
Here is a pic of 3 more samples. Tell me if you like these as well.. The haunted house is a 6 1/2, the candy jar is a 9 1/2 and the ghost is a 12 1/2

owlvamp 06-25-2013 04:42 PM

Wow I just love all the blocks so far. Very cool... Looking for some fabric to do mine. I don't have purple and really need to use what is in my stash. I'm still looking and hopefully will join soon.

Muse&Sew 06-25-2013 05:49 PM

Javin22, I love your haunted house too! All of your blocks are adorable. I'm sew excited you've joined us. Some really fun blocks!

javin22 06-25-2013 06:04 PM

Ok, great. I will do these 6 sets then. Put me down for those. I may do the minis, but I will finish the main blocks first. I just finished the interlock squares filler blocks, I switched up the colors and I like them better now. I will be switching up colors for some of the other blocks also. I need to go shopping for more fabrics. I just had small amount of some of these. Sew much fun!!! :D

Muse&Sew 06-25-2013 08:28 PM

Javin22 I'll put you down then! So happy to have you join us.

RedGarnet222 I like the green, but would be happy with either the blue or green.

javin22 06-26-2013 02:44 PM

Muse&Sew- I am happy to join. Thanks for hosting such a fun swap. I just finished my set of cats, now onto the next. :)

OK here is the green bottles of ghosts and poison. Had to half and half on them. I hope that is ok with you all.
Then here is the last set I am doing ... bats flying.

javin22 06-26-2013 04:31 PM

RedGarnet222- Nice bottles and bats. So Cute.

Muse&Sew 06-26-2013 05:23 PM

RedGarnet222, love the poison, & ghost bottles. You've got to have a bat or two with Halloween.

RedGarnet222 06-26-2013 06:01 PM

LOL.... Thanks ladies. That will make me finished unless I go for some of the tiny swap ones. I will see.

Thanks for hosting Muse and Sew.

owlvamp 06-26-2013 06:33 PM

Love all the blocks so far. Still looking for fabric.

Here is two blocks I created tonight. What do you think? Do you want them in the swap? I don't think I will be able to do the others for I haven't found any fabric that will match what I wanted in my stash. I found these Halloween print ones and decided to give it a whack. Let me know what you think.

Here is another block I've been wanting to try. It's not on point but I like it. What do you think? I forget what the block is called.

Muse&Sew 06-27-2013 06:18 AM

owlvamp, I love your spider & wonky 9 patch. Adorable fabric. The snowball eyeballs are funky. I think you should go for it! Cute!

owlvamp 06-27-2013 08:31 AM

Okay awesome I will join. I know you've been waiting to here that. I absolutely love Halloween and passed up on the last swap and didn't want to pass this one. Not sure how many sets yet but trying to go for the full 6 sets and some of the twist. I will see what I can do. Thanks for hosting.

Muse&Sew 06-27-2013 11:24 AM

owlvamp :) happy to have you join us!

javin22 06-28-2013 05:20 PM

I am working on my last two sets. Can't find the blue fabric that I used for the sky in the haunted house. I just had a scrap and don't know where it came from. I think it was the scrap swap. I really like it and would like to find some more. I found some star sky fabric, but it is silver stars. I don't think it looks as spooky. Might have to use something else if I can't find more of the blue, but I will look for a bit.

owlvamp 06-28-2013 08:31 PM

Alright I finished my 6 bigs sets and did three tiny sets and one left to go. So I am in for the 6 and 4 sets. Thank you

kiffie2413 06-28-2013 11:16 PM

I just told dh I thought I would not sign up for any more swaps for a while, try and get some stuff finished around here (of course this excludes the monthly fq swap :thumbup:). Plus my lqs has our annual Top of Texas Shop Hop coming up 3rd week in July; I still need to finish the shop BOM sampler quilt and several small quilted gifts for giveaways. However, every time I am checking in with Brat' s table runner swap and monthly fq swap I see this swap and hesitate.. I did the Halloween swap last year and loved it! Plus in the last few months I have acquired a lot of super cute Halloween fabrics.. I am very tempted to sign up... I mean aliens kinda could go with Halloween, they also go with ufo's...so my ufo' s make me kinda "alienish" and appropriate for this swap! Glad sign up is until 1st part of August; see how much time I have.
Regards all, Kif

Guess that takes the crazy out, eh? Of the block..out of me??..not so sure..lol..saw where muse told us name is wonky 9 patch. Anywhose, I like 'em!

Lstew2212 06-29-2013 03:30 AM

owlvamp, I love your blocks and would love to have them in my quilt. Please join us. I am having so much fun with my blocks.

owlvamp 06-29-2013 05:24 AM

I joined you all. I finished my 6 sets and so far finished 3 sets of the little ones. Now I will get the 4th done and send them out early as soon as I get an address. Hint hint....

Muse&Sew 06-29-2013 06:07 AM

Good luck javin finding your spooky sky fabric. I love your haunted house!

Yes been real busy I finished up 4 placemats a hot pad and a table runner using Dresden's. I did 9 Dresden's for that then finished up with a Dresden swap of the month so 12 more there and of course needed 24 more Dresden s to make christmas gifts. Then making a block puppy quilt. Half way done with that and seen this swap and miss out on it last time. So I got in full gear and made them so I didn't miss it. I love Halloween! Now I can continue on with the other projects.:)

quiltpd 06-29-2013 07:11 PM

Ohhhhhhhh - been looking at all the blocks, Love them all Halloween is my favorite - so I'd like to join in the fun. Thanks. Pat

Muse&Sew 06-30-2013 10:42 AM

So excited for you to join up Pat! Looking forward to looooooooooooooooots more exciting Halloween blocks.

javin22 06-30-2013 05:52 PM

Yippie! I posted in the looking for section and 3 people have that blue fabric with the yellow stars that I used for the haunted house block. So soon as one of them sends it to me, I can finish my blocks. They are the last set. I finished the other 5 sets. I am so excited that I can get some more of that. I searched for something like it and nothing would come close. This site is awesome. :D
