October's RSC color is brown. I'll add four 8.5" blocks made with sixteen 2.5" squares to my collection. To see what others made with their brown scraps, go here Saturday morning.
I've made some progress on my quilt made with men's shirts. Ready to start on the keyboard border. I'm using Bonnie Hunter's Hopscotch Butterscotch pattern from her book Adventures With Leaders and Enders.
Here is a cute video I found last week. Enjoy.

There's REALLY something to be said about how cozy BROWN quilt are!!! LOVE them!!!
Love the soft mix of browns. The shirt quilt is awesome - how did you get those plaid sashings so even? Plaids seem to run so wonky.
I like your brown blocks. I used to think I didn't like brown, but I've added to all the other colors that I do LOVE. Do you think it could be that we just like fabric? LOL! You have really whipped that Hopscotch Butterscotch together in a hurry! It looks wonderful!
Wow! You are making fast progress on your hopscotch quilt!! The sashing looks awesome! Can't wait to see it finished! Love your brown 16 patches too.
Wow did that men's shirt quilt come together in hurry. It looks great! Brown looks like it is already off to fabulous start.
You got busy with the brown scraps, very fun blocks. Love the orange/red sashing in Hopscotch Butterscotch, it really frames the other blocks nicely. Beautifully done.
Another cool video. Very fun!
The men's shirt quilt looks great! The orange sashing was a great way to tie in September's orange a great finish.
VERY fun video -- love your shirtings quilt (great progress BTW).
Your shirting quilt is coming out smashing. Love the plaids. The brows are so rich and manly looking - what a great quilt they will make.
Sheila, you have an amazing collection of brown scraps and your 16-patch blocks look great. Your hop-scotch is going well too; great use of leaders and enders.
This is a lovely quilt project and ok I am curious..off to the video! :)

Your mens shirt quilt is awesome! I'm amazed at how straight the stripes and plaids are in your pieces. The pattern and colors are great.
Amazing to think you've found all those different browns in men's shirts. You must have a stack of shirts a mile high. LOL The quilt is really looking great.
Your brown blocks have a very nice assortment and the men's shirting quilt is great. Well done! Loved the video.
Hopscotch Butterscotch is looking great! I'm glad you focused on that quilt - it's good to have a "new" Bonnie pattern to think about.
I love the chocolate and coffee tones of brown. your quilt looks lovely too!
Love the brown novelties sprinkled throughout your blocks. And the quilt from men's shirts is quite striking.
I love your shirting quilt top! Always wanted to make one but for an unknown reason never did so!
Love your blog and have nominated it for a Leibster Award. Please don't feel obligated to join in but it would be great if you could. You can find all out all about it here https://thecraftyyak.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/leibster-blog-award/
I really like all of the quilts I've seen that use men's shirts. The BH pattern you used is especially nice.
I love novelties in blocks. You always make such simple blocks with your scraps that end up in some very awesome quilts. That's some inspiration!
