Can't wait to see your blocks!! Some of my blocks have no Halloween fabric too!! So no worries on that at all.

Default Ready for production :)

Well I really had to put my thinking cap on for this one. I wasn't happy with any of the free Halloween PP patterns I was able to find in the 6 X 6 quilt squares I decided I would have to make my own. So four days later and 3 lost EBAY bids on Halloween fabric later. The fruits of my labor have produced 3 patterns. I call them ... Silly Monster, Batty David, and Patronizing Pumpkin. I will be making six of each of these to send in for my three sets. The borders I wanted to be a Halloween print but I have made do with fabrics I had. Hope you all like them.

Those are so great!! I think they look perfect with the fabrics you used. I found the free PP patterns to be less than desirable too, I wish I had your talent for making my own!! Can't wait to see them in person!!

Jenniky they look fabulous! I also wasn't pleased with the paper pieced blocks online and have been drafting my own. So glad to hear that I am not alone.

I will post pics this weekend. Guess that means I actually have to make one by then. He he.
Happy haunting!

Rachel, thanks for doing this. It's like Halloween all year. Love it!

Well the fun is ongoing here in Indiana, All my critics came out of there corners (My loving family) and decided my pumpkin didnt have enough personality. So spent today working on giving pumpkins personality. Here is my revised pumpkins Oh and yes I've been told the next four I make have to have there own personalities also.. lol. My grandson said to make one with crazy eyes so I'm studying his ideas of crazy eyes.. rotfl .. So Fraew I will look forward to see what springs up off your drafting table. Have an Awesome day everyone.
