Red, when people send you their blocks, do they send them flat or some folded to fit in an envelope that can be ironed later? I will be sending my blocks to you on Tuesday and need to know how to package them.

Hi Klaws,
People try and send them to where they arrive in as flat and unwrinkled as possible. The air removed from your plastic baggies before you zip them kind of helps to keep them nice and flat. So when you fold it in half to put it into the envelope they stay pretty ironed. Does that make sense?

Hello Everyone, I received some sample packs and some special deals from Superior Threads this week. Now I have Razzle Dazzel to decorate my Halloween blocks. I cannot send pictures right now, but I will try after all my blocks are in the mail. This is a lot of fun. I know I thought of at least 10 blocks that would be just right .

I am seriously wanting one of these pumpkins. I just love that happy jack fabric. 
Great to see new swappers joining.
As suspected, I ran out of my purple background fabric. It sure didn't help that I messed up big-time when I cut out all the pieces.
So, first set will have to be 3 and 3 of the following 2 backgrounds. Same block, both purple pumpkin backgrounds, but one is darker than the other. The pumpkins still pop.
I have plenty of fabric for my next block, even if I mess up.

Nice job Dorothy. They are looking good.
Well Red, I have finished my Halloween blocks. This is my last set. They are 9 1/2" Square. Hope yall like them.
I will check back and oo and ahh over your creations. I am going to head over and get acquainted with the winter swap and decide what I'm going to make.
