This has been a very busy month with company sleeping in the sewing room. Lots of good times but no time to sew. As soon as they left I pulled some neutrals and played catch up.
Pictured is a crayon block, two 36-patch blocks, seven string blocks and seven 16-patch blocks. Two supper scrappy pot holders made it into the picture. I have a plastic tub of very small scraps and skinny string strips. If it wasn't for sewing them onto strips of paper and making super scrappy pot holders, the tub would be overflowing. To see what others made with neutral scraps go here.
I enjoy sewing these little pincushions using this Fat Quarter Shop YouTube video clip. I gave a couple away to sewing buddies and the other four were donated to our annual quilt show boutique fundraiser.
Please remember to keep the people suffering in Texas and the Gulf area from Hurricane Harvey in your thoughts and prayers.

Love all your neutral blocks, such pretty fabrics. Love the pincushions too. You have been very busy!
The pin cushions are so cute!
This is such a great photo of all your beautiful blocks - so soothing to the eye! Those are such cute pincushions - hadn't seen that on FQS; will have to share with my quilt guild.

I know what that's like to have company and be craving some sewing. Love your neutral blocks! I've got neutral strings to work on - I'd better get to them! The little pincushions are adorable! I'll have to go check out the tutorial.
You certainly made up for lost time. What a fun collection. Even your neutrals are happy.
So happy to see you are still finding time to sew! Everything you make is beautiful. I am so excited to see your crayon quilt come together!
Looks like you caught up, so many lovely neutrals. I enjoyed our neutral month and am now excited about orange.
You have been very productive even with company. Cute little pin cushions.
Lots of pretty scrappy neutral blocks. You still managed to get a lot done, even with your company around.
Great job on using up those neutral scraps.
