I'm not sure it translates right but this expression comes from the old folks in French Canada, meaning you are unable to follow instructions. (T'es sourd d'un oreille, pis tu ou'ais pas d'l'aut'e.)
Angela called out black for September and I'm having fun with brown! Maybe I'll switch next week ... then again ...

August saw the orange scraps diminish to this.
compared to the beginning of the month (photo below), I'm happy with the progress. The little plastic bags hold tiny pieces for crumb blocks.
A "peachy" orange Stained Glass block was finished, photographed with the transitioning 9-patch blocks. Transition from orange to brown not black. I might do some black ones.
And here are the browns I'll be playing with this month.
I received some gift bags last week and, amongst other things, there was this big bag of cut-off Batiks in blue, purple and pink.
You can see that the pieces are not that big. I was wondering about my sanity while going through this bag. "Do I really need more tiny little pieces?" But Batiks is very expensive. "You are NOT the one who paid for it and she gave it away, not caring." "Throw it out. She won't know."
But some were worth saving and then ...
and again,
Yes, that's all and I'm about halfway done. Am I insane?
In the gifted bags, I also got this.
I've tried to make one of these without the help of the seam ripper and I failed ... Thrice!
I have also worked on my RSC block for next year. Yes, I already found something easy and, hopefully, interesting for you to look at.
Have a Fabulous Week, everyone.
;^)

I think Angela said dark neutrals; black, brown and gray. I haven't been playing along, but I know some people have been doing brown.
whatever color you choose, at least you're getting something done.

Chantel, have you thought about sewing only the green blocks and then the blue ones? You could then combine them to make the final block. It might save your sanity and keep you from using the seam ripper.
Some of those purples are really lovely, I suppose you could make a mug rug out of them and call it Purple Insanity. I tossed a big bag of tiny scraps earlier this year and haven't missed them one little bit.
You will never run out of scraps with people giving you bags like that! Just as well really as what would you do. Have a good week. xx
Oh, that saying brings back memories! I am French Canadian heritage on both sides (Vermont). Brown is a dark, so you are all good. What a bag of goodies that is. Want to come and go through all my fabrics and organize it for me?
Elle est amusante cette expression ! Bon en attendant tu as des merveilles dans des boîtes à tissus, et ceux-là n'attendent que d'être utilisés ;) Déjà prête pour le RSC de l'année prochaine ? Wouha, bravo !!
Well done! YOu have inspired me to work at my overflowing baskets of scraps and am cutting cutting cutting ...

BROWN is dark, too, then you'll be able to sew with light neutrals next month. As long as you are USING your scraps, it's all good!
