While the colors in this block are somewhat subdued, they do include some from previous blocks (notably the two darker browns, the black and the dark blue). I also continued with the signature chain stitch swirl (here in a beige and in black beads) and using the crystal bead string as seam treatments, so there is some continuity among blocks.

Here is my August crazy quilt block:
The color palette can be found here: . The grid I used was block 59 of the "I dropped the Button Box CQ" over at Pin Tangle. Because of the stars in the red fabric lower right, I decided to use stars elsewhere on this block --- and luckily I have LOTS of star-shaped buttons so... I experimented with a button cluster, a la "Kitty and Me" to cover up a very long seam and acute angle as defined by shawkl.
