The past week has been, for scrappy sewing, round after round of "pin, sew, press, repeat." Unfortunately, none of my scraps are green. I sewed those up back when I was barely able to sew after hand surgery.
All my 16 patches, at least for this stage of the game, are complete. I sorted them out to make two quilts, one teal and one blue/purple/green. I have enough for a good start on a third so there will be more 16 patches in my future scrappy sewing.
The 1.5" strip box is still not empty, despite its extensive use this summer, so it's a good thing I plan to make more 16 patches. I think I'm going to add in gray since those scraps are lonely from neglect. Those may come out to play in November or December, once I see where my other scraps take me!

I love how you just keep on digging away at thiose 1.5” scraps! You’ll have some cute quilts when all is said and done. And your post reminded me that I have a bag of mustard-colored (not my favorite) 1.5” strips wanting their turn at something. This may be the solution!
LOVING all your teal blocks!! I spy with my little eye something that looks like the backing for my Grand Illusions quilt. SEW much fun to spot fabrics that I have in my own stash!
Look at all those 16 patches! That's going to be an amazing quilt, Katie!
Such fun 16 patches and in my favorite colors too! They will work into some lovely quilts.
Hmmmm...I think I know what my next project will be that uses 1.5 inch scraps. Thanks for the inspiration!
