Those that asked for side swaps on those if that does not matter to you ten I have two in that fabric if it does then just wait and I will post teh new fabric once I see which one(s) pass.
Red Garnet I did find that word Halloween fabric at Ben Franklin's today and bought a yd as well as some fabric now for what I think will be my center panel. Will try and get a pic up later.
Hopefully by tommorow after quilt class I will have details on my side swap so wont keep you gals in suspense.

I am so jelous that you have a quilt class tomorrow. Where and what are you taking? Curious minds want to know... LOL!
I know what I would do with a block I loved and had small pin holes. I would use a small reinforcement from the back side to fill the hole and go with it. Or a dot of fray check. But, I am not the perfectionist I used to be, like you.
Did you like the Purple word fabric? I read you bought some. I did, it was subtle yet so neat!

Donna...yes, those are adorable!! Maybe I'll get one in the regular swap..a girl can always hope, right???
Yup...my bat looks like a spider..at least thats what DH says too, so you are in good company LOL. I don't mind, you can go either way for Halloween can't you?
Red, thanks, I hadn't thought about the copy paper. And since a few years ago I didn't even know how to turn the machine on...I'm sure you actually do have more experience than me..most do..:roll:

Thats me too...why go to the trouble of making extra blocks for private swaps when you might just get the blocks you wanted in the regular swap? Might end up with lots of dupes that way. I'm going to wait. :D:
Oh and yes Mellie...you make a set of blocks (6), mail them to our hostess, she will swap them for 6 different blocks made by others and mail them back to you. Its fun...come on in!
