It's yellow month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and I have enjoyed my projects this week.
First I put some gorgeous Alison Glass fabric called 'crochet' in the centres of some flower blocks (a small start for a table runner).
Then I used this yellow fabric to make a 6" yellow sewing machine block (another one of my long term RSC projects started in June of 2021). And I also made a sweet little yellow 3" sewing machine block from yellow scraps.
These blocks are made from a free pattern from the Fat Quarter Shop. I am making the 3" and 6" block sizes, but oddly have no interest in the 9" block size. Quilts can be made much quicker with bigger blocks, but rapid production is not my goal - enjoyment is, so I follow my bliss!
Here are all the blocks on the design wall. 
I don't know yet when I will tire of making these blocks, or how big the quilt will become. The plan of the moment is to border the 3" blocks with white sashing as alternate blocks to the 6" sewing machines.

Love those flowers for your table runner, very cute. The sewing machines re really fun. Enjoy your scrappy stitching today.
Love the Mini and Small machine blocks in Rainbow colors. Using up the scraps. Have a great Weekend.
I love your fun collection of sewing machines! Such a great idea to sash the tiny ones and use them in between the bigger ones. They're going to make a cute quilt!
Mixing the 2 sizes of sewing machine blocks makes this layout really pop.
You could add spool blocks for the border of your sewing machine quilt.
Your sewing machine blocks are so lovely!
