So far I've made two 6-1/2" sets and two 12-1/2" sets (plus the itty bitty 3-1/2"-ers for the side swap). Not sure yet what sizes my remaining two sets will be. :)

We have 14 swappers signed up so far. I'll try & get a list out tomorrow.

Oh muse and sew those are wonderful! I really think your work rocks moonrise. I wish I could help you out with the steam a seam, but I only have one package and half of that is gone. I just got the other one for the applique blocks too.

My first set is started and is going pretty slow. "~( A spider block that should finish up to be 91/2".

Thanks for the answers, I usually make a 12 1/2 block because they work up quickly. I have a great paper piecing pattern that makes up a 12 1/2 inch block that I think will look great in the candy corn colors. I am going to work on that one tonight. I will post pics when I get done.

Set #5. One more to go! :) The background is actually purple. For some reason, my camera turns purple into blue.

This is one attempt at my paper piecing block, notice the corners look like candy corn.When I saw this pattern, I know it was perfect. Just one question, any hints on getting the points in the middle to match up. Three points match perfectly and one is off a little.

Lstew2212 your candy corn is really cute! I'm not positive how to help with the point. Maybe someone has a suggestion.
Moonrise, love the kitties. Fun block.

This turned out so cute! When I have made this block I have pressed my seams open and used pins through the seams to match up. If you did this and still had trouble I don't know what else to suggest. Just thought of a solution, sew a button over the intersection!
