    I like the witch the way she is, but you could always move her to the side of the tree and put one leg on the back side of the tree. Then you would just need one side of the cape.

    I think the witch is very cute but you could do the cape and the hat in 2 different colors. Maybe the broom should be more of a side view. Not very good at coming up with my own patterns. I usually have to ask around too.

    I personally love it and knew exactly what everything was the instant I saw it! How cute sandpat! I want one too... LOL!

    To answer your question though, no you won't be getting one back. Sorry, there are too few blocks to swap out since they limited us to 12 blocks each to swap. Oh well, I am looking aroung to see what other blocks I could do to side swap out with the other swappers. I know this is allowed. Wink wink...

    Have a blast everyone making these halloween blocks after all it is a party!

    Ok, I'm a little confused, are we suppost to make one big block with sashing around it, or just the little blocks without sashing! What I'm trying to figure out unfinish block without sashing or finish block with sashing? LOL I'm not even sure this makes sense...

    Looks like most are sending blocks with no sashing, am I right?

    Thanks all for your help...I'll play with her a little more...*shaking head...men.....why would I have expected him to know??? LOL! Even he said, "Well, your friends probably will get it immediately! LOL"*

    Gotcha Red...I am making 7- 1 for me and if I have time maybe a couple of extra to swap for both my sets.

    Donna...make your blocks----no sashing....any size that is divisable by 3. My block of the witch is finished at 6" x 9", so I will mail it 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" without sashing. Clear now??

    This question has probably already been asked but can the blocks be of different things such as witch, skelteon, etc. or do all the block have to be the same pattern? Thanks
