Group Project No. 2

Yes we are starting a new project. No I am not done the last one.
The challenge? To make four identical blocks in a Halloween theme, for six months. We give each person in the group one of the four identical blocks, and they each give us one of theirs!
I started with this block based off a tutorial I found here barn bats by ohfransson but I got a bit stuck trying to make it work with our block size.

Speaking of block size, why am I so afraid to trim my blocks to the right size? Every one else does, but I keep thinking, what if I make this to small and ruin the block, or it's not square?!
So here are the blocks so far! My first was the pumpkin on green on the top far right. My second was the mummy and my third was the barn bats. 

Next up is of course a secret, but I will be paper piecing again.

Funky Flower Find

I like to haunt the local second hand stores - one more then others. Many of my 'finds' have been purchased from there, including lamps, side tables, kitchen items and lately, "office" clothing for the mister and his new job!
During Christmas they had sales prices going on 25% the first week of December, 50% of the next and of course 75% off the third week! I managed to nab a completed quilt top with some funky flowers hand stitched on with a blanket stitch. I paid $2.50 for a queen size quilt!
Last week after some help basting it from my quilty friend, I finished it off and boy am I in love!

So are Casey and Tucker, they could not stay off the quilt|
