Birthday Block Swap for October....Halloween!!!

So here is the October Block for the Bday Swap Kate is running. I didnt do a September block because that person never got around to making mine (which was in July). She has a lot of family obligations right now, so i sent her an email telling her not to worry about making one, and i wouldnt make her one either so she wouldnt feel stressed. So when October rolled around i was anxious to get back into the swap, and created this crazy square. I didnt realize how many pieces were in the square when i first started...what the hell was i thinking :) heheheh This is a beginner friendly group and i was trying to stretch my skills a bit. Im just glad i only had to make one...i couldnt imagine having to make a whole set of these squares....whew!
I hope Becca likes it...the other square she rcvd looked more old style Halloween with more subdued colors...very pretty...but Halloween to me means crazy fun...so thats what i made...a crazy fun star! By the way the color didnt photograph well...the skeleton fabric is actually purple, not blue.
There is another swap going on i wish i could participate in, a Doll Quilt. The woman running that swap posted this photo of someones sewing room covered in doll sized quilts.....it looks awesome! Here is that photo...........
I am totally inspired by this photo and want to do the same to my place! Wouldnt this look pretty on the inside of a log cabin? The one problem living in an old log cabin, very dark and not enough color. This would certainly fix that! Anyways, the swap deadline is coming up and i have too many other commitments right now :( doh! Guess ill just have to make my own until the next swap comes along. I do love the idea of finishing an entire quilt in such a short amount of time...perhaps i can try my hand at applique with a small one. Something ive wanted to try for a while, but on a small scale to start. Well, i suppose i should be sewing instead of rambling! Have a creative prolific weekend!
Cheers~
